Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cod fillets
- 120 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 unit large egg
- 120 milliliters milk
- 2 units green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 250 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Place the fresh cod fillets in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and poach the cod for about 5-7 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cod from water and let it cool slightly.
Step 2
Flake the cod with a fork into a mixing bowl. Discard any skin or bones.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the egg and milk to the flour mixture, and whisk until smooth, creating a batter.
Step 5
Add the flaked cod, chopped green onions, fresh parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest to the batter. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 7
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the cod fritters warm, with a side of lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
