Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Grouper fillets
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted seasoning blend
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Rinse the grouper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and unsalted seasoning blend. Mix well.
In a separate dish, mix the cornmeal and all-purpose flour together.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk and lemon juice until well combined.
Coat each grouper fillet in the spice mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Dip the coated fillets into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Finally, dredge the fillets in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges or a low-sodium dipping sauce of your choice.
