Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornflour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 200 milliliters sparkling water, chilled
- 1 large egg white
- 0 cooking spray
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently spray the paper with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, and white pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the chilled sparkling water into the flour mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside for a moment.
Step 4
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg white until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the batter mixture. This will make the batter light and airy.
Step 5
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 7
Place the battered fish onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the battered fish with cooking spray to help them crisp as they bake.
Step 8
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the batter is crisp and golden brown, and the fish is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a minute before serving.
Step 10
Serve the low-fat battered fish with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing. Enjoy your healthier take on the classic dish!
