Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 milliliters Light beer
- Non-stick cooking spray
- for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the light beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating it thoroughly. Allow the excess batter to drip off before placing the fillet on the prepared wire rack.
Lightly spray the tops of the coated fish with non-stick cooking spray to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the beer-battered fish with lemon wedges and your choice of low-fat tartar sauce or vinegar.
