Fish and Marinade

Breading

Method

Marinating the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the fish fillet in the marinade and coat it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preparing the Breading

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Mixture

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, and salt.

  2. 4

    Beat the Egg

    In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.

Coating the Fish

  1. 5

    Coat the Fish

    Remove the marinated fish from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dip the fish into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Frying the Fish

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish fillet into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Fried Fish

    Serve the fried fish hot, garnished with lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy!
