Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Cold water
• 4 tablespoons Honey
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the halibut fillets in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the dry mixture and gradually pour in the cold water, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 5

Dip each halibut fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry 1-2 fillets at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the fish for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fried halibut from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

While the fish is still hot, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each fillet for a sweet glaze.

Step 9

Garnish the fried halibut with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
