Fried Red Snapper Fillet Ingredients
Method
Fried Red Snapper Fillet Directions
Prepare the Breading
In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Coat the Fillets
Dip each red snapper fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Fillets
Carefully place the coated fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
