Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 milliliters Light beer
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
- 0 for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the light beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating it thoroughly. Allow the excess batter to drip off before placing the fillet on the prepared wire rack.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the coated fish with non-stick cooking spray to help it crisp up in the oven.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the beer-battered fish with lemon wedges and your choice of low-fat tartar sauce or vinegar.
