Oven Fried Batter Fish

We all love the fried fish with that crisp, fluffy batter on it. But unless you're planning to go to a restaurant to eat it, it's quite a pain to make at home. Not to mention, it's deep-fried. So, here's a simple way to make a batch of fried fish at home, in the oven, with as little oil as possible.

4 fillets fish, I used tilapia

1 egg, beaten

1 cup flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp powdered sage

Beat the egg in a plate and set aside. Wash fish and pat dry with a paper towel. 

In a second plate, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, baking soda, paprika, and sage. 

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Coat the fish in the flour mixture on both sides, then dip into the egg, and place on a well greased oven-proof tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish starts to brown and is flaky when cut. 

Serve with Lemon Dill Sauce.
