Ingredients

• 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 whole Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened coconut milk until fully combined.

Step 4

Spread the gluten-free panko breadcrumbs on a large plate.

Step 5

Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides completely. Shake off excess.

Step 6

Dip the flour-coated fillets into the egg and coconut milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, press each fillet into the gluten-free panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a thick, even coating on all sides.

Step 8

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully place each coated fillet into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 10

Fry each fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 11

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
