• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat each grouper fillet dry with paper towels, ensuring they are as moisture-free as possible.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Season both sides of the grouper fillets with the spice mix.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free cornmeal.

Step 5

In another small bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until fully blended.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Dip each seasoned fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8

Dredge each fillet in the flour and cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coat.

Step 9

Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fillets from the oil, letting them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
