Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornflour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 200 milliliters sparkling water, chilled
- 1 large egg white
- cooking spray
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently spray the paper with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, and white pepper until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the chilled sparkling water into the flour mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside for a moment.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg white until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the batter mixture. This will make the batter light and airy.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each fish fillet into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the battered fish onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the battered fish with cooking spray to help them crisp as they bake.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the batter is crisp and golden brown, and the fish is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the low-fat battered fish with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing. Enjoy your healthier take on the classic dish!
