Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Pat dry the fish fillets using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, then set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a seasoned flour mixture.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure it is lightly coated on all sides.
Dip the flour-coated fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Press the fillet into the gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, ensuring a thick, even coating. Repeat for all fillets and set them aside on a clean plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into it—if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Carefully add the coated fish fillets to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through (it should flake easily with a fork).
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried fish immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces or sides, such as coleslaw or fries, for a complete meal.
