CRISPY GOLDEN SAUTEED FISH

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces flounder or other mild white fish, 1/2-inch thick, cut into 4 (3-ounce) pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare the fish by rinsing and patting dry, without squeezing the delicate fish flesh. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan.
  • Cook's Note: Do not use a nonstick pan.
  • The oil should be glossy, but not smoking. While the oil is heating, take a fresh paper towel and pat the fish dry a second time, and dredge the fish in flour on both sides, patting off the excess. This will make your beautiful crust-searing foolproof! Place the fish in the pan and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip the fish, being firm with the spatula in order to scrape up the whole golden-seared crust when you flip. Once flipped, place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each piece of fish, and allow it to melt into the saucepan. It may brown somewhat, but it should not burn. Allow the mixture to cook another 2 minutes and then remove the fish. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice (be careful with splatters!), and quickly scrape up the brown bits of flavor. Toss in the parsley, taste for seasoning, and spoon a teaspoon of the rich lemony butter onto the fish and serve.

The Ultimate Fish Fillet Sandwich image

This recipe was inspired to me by Tyler Florence from the Food Network show. I wanted to share the recipe here but with a few changes that suits our families taste. Only changes that I made was replacing the tarter cream sauce he made, which was made up of mayonnaise,lemon juice, fresh parsley, basil,and chives, black pepper and olive oil and replacing it with my recipe for Recipe #114732 and replacing romaine lettuce for the arugula he used on the sandwich.

1 (12 inch) tail piece fresh halibut (a foot long)

1/2 cup tartar sauce
butter, soften to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350'.
  • Place a baking sheet in oven and let heat up for a good 20-25 minutes while.

  • Set up a breading station with 3 separate deep bowls or containers.
  • Add flour, kosher salt and black pepper to one containter and set aside.
  • In the 2nd containter, add egg and milk , whipped up together and adding a touch of salt and black pepper , and set aside.
  • In the 3rd containter add Panko breadcrumbs with more salt and black pepper.
  • Cut halibut tail into 2 pieces.
  • Dip each halibut fillet into the flour mixture first than into the egg mixture, and than into the panko breading.
  • Set each fillet onto a cutting board or a plate to let rest 5 minutes.
  • (this is to let the breading mixture settle on the fish fillet).
  • Bring out baking sheet from oven and sprinkle some olive oil over the pan.
  • Place halibut fillets on hot baking sheet ( it should sizzle when placing on sleet).
  • Bake 30 minutes or until a golden brown.
  • Split open the french bread and spread butter over each slice of french bread.
  • Toast bread in oven until a light golden brown.
  • Add tarter sauce to each toasted side of bread.
  • Add the fish fillet to one side of bread.
  • Add avocado, tomato and romaine lettuce on top of fish.
  • Top with other side of bread and serve.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, make sure the fish is dry before coating it in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Use a light touch when breading the fish to avoid making the coating too thick.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry.
  • Fry the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides.
