How to Make Beer Battered Oven Fried Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Lightly coat a large jelly roll pan or baking sheet with vegetable oil spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Add 1 cup beer to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the flour/beer mixture until just combined.
  7. In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Dip each fish strip (about 6-8, 4-6 ounces each) into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Place the coated fish strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  10. Lightly coat the fish strips with cooking spray.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven and preheat the broiler.
  13. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
