Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh cod fillet
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 Large egg
- 0.5 cup Milk, low-fat
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Canola oil
- 1 Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the cod fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the fillet into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper.
Add chopped parsley and chives to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. Add milk and lemon zest, then whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gently fold the cod cubes into the batter until each piece is well coated.
In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the cod mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
