π₯ Step-by-Step Instructions
1οΈβ£ Prepare the Coating
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder. This crispy coating makes all the difference!

- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Fry each fillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4οΈβ£ Drain & Serve
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to keep it crispy.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley for the perfect finishing touch.
