Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a clean plate.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl or dish, mix together the rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This will be your dry coating mix.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs together with the water and lemon juice. This will help adhere the dry coating to the fish.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep-fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
While the oil is heating, take each tilapia fillet, dip it into the egg mixture, coating it completely.
Step 6
Once coated in egg, transfer the fillet to the rice flour mixture and press the coating onto the fish, ensuring it sticks well. Shake off any excess.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated tilapia fillet into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fillets onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining fillets.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried tilapia hot, with a wedge of lemon or your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
