Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat dry the halibut fillets with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a third plate for coating.
Dredge each halibut fillet into the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess.
Dip the floured fillet into the egg-buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, press the fillet into the panko breadcrumbs, covering it entirely with breadcrumbs. Press lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat this process for all fillets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be about 2-3 inches deep.
Carefully add the halibut fillets to the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each piece for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried halibut from the oil. Place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your Secret Fried Halibut!
