Instructions
Creating battered fish burgers is an exciting culinary adventure. Follow these steps to make them successfully:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
2. Make the Battering Mixture: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Add Sparkling Water: Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until a smooth batter forms.
4. Prepare the Panko Coating: Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate dish for the coating.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Coat the Fish: Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, then transfer it to the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure even coating.
7. Fry the Fish: Carefully place coated fillets in the hot oil, frying them until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Toast the Buns: Optionally, toast the burger buns in the same pan until golden for added flavor.
10. Assemble the Burgers: Start with one bun, add lettuce, a fish fillet, tomato slices, and your favorite sauce. Top with the other bun.
