Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow dish, combine rice flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and lemon zest.
Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to achieve a crispy crust.
Place the fish fillets in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the fish in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) and should flake easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the fish before serving.
Serve the gluten-free pan-fried fish with lemon wedges on the side.
