Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 flounder or sole fillets (1 3/4 pounds total)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs
1 1/4 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs, such as Progresso
Unsalted butter
Good olive oil
6 ounces arugula or mixed salad greens for 6
Lemon Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons drained capers
Freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and fleur de sel, for serving
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
  • Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 6-ounce tilapia fillets
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
6 slices white sandwich bread, torn into pieces

Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
5 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Lightly beat the eggs in another dish. Pulse the bread, parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until crumbs form, then transfer to a third dish. One at a time, remove the fillets from the milk and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs, gently pressing to coat both sides. Transfer to a large plate. Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 tablespoons each olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets, adding 2 more tablespoons each olive oil and butter. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fish with the salad and lemon wedges.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Fish     Lime Juice     Breadcrumbs     Cilantro     Ginger     Cucumber     Fennel     Onion     Chile Pepper     Dinner     Fry

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cilantro oil:
4 cups cilantro
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1/2 cup neutral oil (such as sunflower or canola)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Fish and assembly:
4 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
4 large egg yolks
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup cornstarch
4 skinless, boneless gray sole or flounder fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
3 medium Persian cucumbers, cut into small pieces
1 medium fennel bulb, cut into small pieces
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 serrano chile, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook cilantro in a medium pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 20 seconds. Drain and transfer cilantro to a bowl of ice water. Swish around in water to cool. Drain, then squeeze excess liquid from herbs with your hands.
  • Purée cilantro, ginger, and 2 Tbsp. water in a blender until almost smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in oil and blend until smooth. Strain cilantro oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; discard any solids. Mix lime juice into oil and season with salt.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cilantro oil (without lime juice and salt) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before adding lime juice and salt.
  • Fish and Assembly
  • Process panko in a food processor until very finely ground (it will only take 45-60 seconds). Transfer to a shallow bowl. Place egg yolks in another shallow bowl and whisk in buttermilk. Place cornstarch in a third shallow bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack inside.
  • Working with 1 fillet at a time, season with kosher salt on both sides and dredge in cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere before shaking off excess. Repeat steps to make a second coating. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Pour oil into a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to come 1" up sides. Heat oil over medium-high until an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F-365°F (Don't let the tip of the thermometer touch the bottom of the skillet). Carefully lower a fillet along the side of skillet closest to you and let slide away from you into oil. Carefully swirl oil in skillet and cook fish just until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Using a fish spatula or slotted spoon, carefully turn fish over and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer fish to wire rack in prepared baking sheet and season with sea salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Toss cucumbers, fennel, onion, chile, cilantro oil, and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl and top with some cilantro.
  • Serve fish with cucumber ceviche and lime wedges.

FISH MILANESE



Fish Milanese image

This fast weeknight dinner features quick-cooking flounder prepared alla Milanese, the style of breading and frying meat cutlets. The fillets are lightly breaded and pan-fried until golden and crisp on the outside and tender in the middle. A lemony, brown-butter pan sauce with capers comes together quickly to add a tangy brininess to the dish. A bit of avocado on the side adds creaminess that balances the crisp fish and peppery arugula. Any leftover fish makes for terrific sandwiches the next day, stacked with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup plain bread crumbs
Salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (5- to 6-ounce) flounder fillets (or other thin white fish fillets)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers, plus 1 tablespoon caper brine
1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and cut into wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Place flour, eggs and bread crumbs in three separate shallow bowls, and season each with salt and pepper. Crumble the oregano with your fingertips and add to the bread crumbs; mix well.
  • Season fish with salt. Working with one piece at a time, dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg (shake off excess) then dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a large plate.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip fish and cook until golden on the second side and cooked through, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large paper towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the oil and the remaining fish.
  • Wipe out skillet and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened and butter is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, plus the lemon juice, parsley, capers and caper brine, and mix well. Transfer the brown-butter vinaigrette to a small heatproof bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the fish, arugula and avocado among plates, and drizzle with the brown-butter vinaigrette. Serve with lemon wedges.
