Gluten-Free Prairie Fish Tacos cooked on the BBQ are one way to stay cool today.
Cool #1: This light batter made with our Flour Blend (or Pancake Mix) is fried in just a bit of oil ( high flash point such as safflower or avocado oil) makes the delicious Fish Tacos that NO one will believe are Gluten-Free
Cool #2: Any mild white fish will do. I like Cod, but Rockfish & Halibut are great options too. New Grist Gluten-Free Beer is easy to find here in Montana. I’ve used club soda too, but the GF beer works best with our mix.
Cool #3: Take the fish out of the fridge for about 15 min before cooking. (if it’s too cold – the outside will cook much faster and inside will be undercooked)
Cool #4: The best part! Heat a large cast iron skillet outside on the grill. Add oil and heat to about 325.
Cool #5: Add fish and walk away! Once the fish is in the pan, avoid the urge to move it around! Let it be. That will set the coating. Turn once and walk away again.
Total time on the grill will vary.(mine takes about 3 min) Just make sure it’s cooked through. Recipe can easily be doubled. If you try this recipe, I’d love to know how it turned out for you.
