Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and sprinkle them with lemon juice on both sides. Set aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. It should be the consistency of a loose pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge half of the salmon fillet.
Dip each salmon fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the salmon fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fillets to avoid breaking.
Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side.
