Best 6 Herb Battered Fish Recipes

UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

CRISPY BEER BATTER FISH & CHIPS

Steps:

• Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
• Pat fish as dry as possible. Cut pieces lengthwise to get eight 1-inch thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust fish lightly with the mixture and shake off excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place fish on top.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
• Fry fish in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

HERBED FISH

Steps:

• Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
• In small shallow dish, mix Bisquick mix, bread crumbs, basil and salt. In another shallow dish, beat egg. Dip fish into egg, then coat with Bisquick mixture.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook fish in oil 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork and is brown on both sides.

HERB BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Dust fillets with plain flour and set aside.
• Combine the self raising flour, herbs, beer and egg.
• Mix to a smooth batter.
• Dip fish in batter, deep fry in moderately hot oil until crisp and golden, about 6 minutes.
• Serve with tartar sauce and chips.
• Garnish with lemon wedges and herbs.

HERB-BAKED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 F. Grease a shallow baking dish big enough to place the fish in a single layer.
• Place the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
• In a skillet or saute pan over medium-low heat, cook the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter until tender. Stir in the thyme and tarragon and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Spread the herb and butter mixture over the fish fillets.
• In a small bowl, combine the crushed corn flakes with the melted butter and parsley.
• Top with the seasoned cornflake crumbs and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Very thin fillets might take less time to check the center of the fish with a fork-flakes should separate freely.
• Serve the fish with lemon wedges.
