Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tilapia filets
  • ½ cup light beer gluten free; notes on favorites below!
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup corn starch divided
  • ¾ cup gluten free all-purpose flour 1 to 1 ratio
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  • Place ½ cup of cornstarch into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together beer and egg.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together remaining cornstarch, gluten free all-purpose flour, dried basil, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • To work most efficiently, place the fish on a plate or sheet pan, then working in a line, place the bowl of plain cornstarch, the bowl of egg mixture, the bowl of seasoned cornstarch and gluten free flour mixture, and finally another plate of sheet pan for the breaded fish.
  • Place the fish in the plain cornstarch, tossing to coat. Next, dip the fish in the egg mixture to fully coat. Finally, toss the fish in the gluten free flour mixture to coat, and place it on the plate or sheet pan.
  • Meanwhile, preheat avocado oil in a medium to large ceramic, non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the fish to the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until just cooked through and golden brown.
  • Remove from the pan, and drain on paper towels. If necessary, cook fish in batches.

Notes

  • Gluten Free Beer - A great option is Glutenberg Blonde or Daura Damm Lager, but as a substitute simply use buttermilk.
  • Prepare your shallow dishes first, then work in a line to bread and batter the fish. 
  • This dish is best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. 
  • For best results, reheat this fish in the oven or toaster oven until warmed throughout.
