Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 cup Water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, paprika, and oregano.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully lower the fillet into the hot oil.
Fry the fillets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil, allowing any excess oil to drain off, and place the fillets on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the low sodium battered fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
