Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hake fillets
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the hake fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk and lemon juice. Add the hake fillets to the dish and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme.
In another shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and ground black pepper.
Remove the hake fillets from the buttermilk marinade, and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the fillets, making sure to coat them evenly.
Dredge each fillet in the flour and cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated hake fillets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fillets from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the fried hake fish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or your favorite low-sodium dip.
