Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod fillets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 cup Water
• 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 for serving Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, paprika, and oregano.

Step 3

Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully lower the fillet into the hot oil.

Step 6

Fry the fillets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil, allowing any excess oil to drain off, and place the fillets on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

Serve the low sodium battered fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
