Battered Balsamic Fish

Ingredients

• 4 (6 ounces) white fish fillets
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup beer
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the beer and the flour mixture until it forms a thick batter.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened.
7. Serve the fish with the balsamic sauce.
