Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and sprinkle them with lemon juice on both sides. Set aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. It should be the consistency of a loose pancake batter.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge half of the salmon fillet.
Step 5
Dip each salmon fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the salmon fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fillets to avoid breaking.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side.
