Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gradually add sparkling water to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth to create a batter.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Dip each grouper fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 5

Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 6

Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined tray.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix dairy-free mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, and hot sauce to make the sauce.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, shredded carrot, and green onions to create the slaw.

Step 9

Toast hamburger buns with a thin spread of dairy-free margarine until golden brown.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of sauce on each half of the toasted buns.

Step 11

Place a crispy grouper fillet on the bun, top with a handful of slaw, and cover with the top bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Crispy Grouper Sandwich!
