Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod or haddock fillets
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 50 grams Whey protein powder
- 1 large Egg
- 250 ml Sparkling water
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the batter adhere better.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and whey protein powder. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the egg. Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot filled with vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). You can check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for approximately 4-5 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the oil and allow it to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Enjoy your crispy, high-protein battered fish!
