Fillet Fish Fry
The lightly browned butter and the fresh lemon make this a simple light dinner dish. You can certainly use frozen fish. You will need to make sure it is patted dry and not wet before you coat it with your rice flour. Use any type of white fish you like – sole, flounder, tilapia, halibut or cod. Below are two tasty variations for your next fish fry.
