Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod or haddock fillets
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 50 grams Whey protein powder
- 1 large Egg
- 250 ml Sparkling water
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the batter adhere better.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and whey protein powder. Mix thoroughly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the egg. Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot filled with vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
Dip each fish fillet into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for approximately 4-5 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the oil and allow it to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Enjoy your crispy, high-protein battered fish!
