Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hake fillets
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Start by preparing the hake fillets. Inspect them for any remaining bones and remove them carefully. Rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk and lemon juice. Submerge the hake fillets in this mixture, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize the fish.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the coating. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, crack and beat the eggs until smooth.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Remove the hake fillets from the buttermilk mixture and let any excess liquid drip off. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture first, ensuring all sides are well-coated.
Next, dip the floured fillets into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
Finally, press the fillets into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ensuring a good even layer coats the fish completely.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. It's hot enough when a small piece of bread dropped into the oil sizzles immediately.
Carefully place the breaded hake fillets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Cook each fillet for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
Once fried, remove the fillets from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes like coleslaw or potato wedges. Enjoy your crispy gluten-free fried hake fish!
