👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the fish dry well with paper towels.
    Paper towels
  2. 2
    Mix the gluten-free flour blend, salt, black pepper, paprika and turmeric in a wide bowl.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Roll the fish in the gluten-free flour blend mixture on all sides, to a thin, even coating, and shake off the excess.
    💡Shake off the excess gluten-free flour blend well: a thick layer of gluten-free flour blend comes away from the fish during frying, while a thin coating stays crisp.
  4. 4
    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  5. 5
    Fry the fish 5–6 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.

  6. 6
    Transfer to paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

  7. 7
    Serve hot with the lemon, cut into wedges.
