FRIED FISH IRAQI STYLE

Fried Fish Iraqi Style image

This is a tasty fried fish which we like served with rice and Recipe#387327. I have made this with whole deboned light skinned fish as well increasing the coating as needed based on fish size. No need to remove the heads! I always make our version gluten free using double the amount of white rice flour and half the amount sweet rice flour & tapioca starch, though it fries OK I can see it would work better with regular flour.

1 tablespoon boiling water
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste

¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ pounds skinless cod fillets, about 1-inch thick

Crush saffron threads to a powder in a small mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl with 1 tablespoon boiling water. Stir, cover, and set saffron water aside.
