Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil (or any neutral frying oil)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl or plate, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and is hot, approximately 350°F (175°C) if measuring with a thermometer.
Carefully place the fish fillets into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
