Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
Instructions
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.
Drizzle the fillets with fresh lemon juice and season with ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ground cayenne pepper.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) using a kitchen thermometer for accurate results.
Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the batter, making sure it is coated evenly.
Carefully lower the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of side salad or steamed vegetables.
