Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Cold water
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the halibut fillets in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Crack the egg into the dry mixture and gradually pour in the cold water, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Dip each halibut fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry 1-2 fillets at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the fish for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fried halibut from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the fish is still hot, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each fillet for a sweet glaze.
Garnish the fried halibut with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
