buttermilk

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Plain yogurt provides creaminess while reducing calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch makes for a lighter batter.

1

Prepare the fish by patting it dry with paper towels.

2

Season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with buttermilk, and one for a mixture of cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

4

Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off excess.

5

Dip the floured fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

6

Coat the fillet in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

7

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

8

Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

9

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

10

Remove the fish and drain on paper towels.

11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.
