Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Sparkling water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 whole Sliced lemon
Instructions
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season the fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle with lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
In a large bowl, combine whey protein isolate, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add sparkling water. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.
In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each snapper fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with sliced lemon. Enjoy your high protein crispy fried snapper fillets!
