   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 to 175°C (345°F).

   💡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 3 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.
