oil for frying

Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

In another bowl, whisk together egg and milk until smooth.

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

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

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

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

Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the fish and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh herbs.
