PAN SAUTEED SOLE/FLOUNDER PARMESAN



Pan Sauteed Sole/Flounder Parmesan image

From A Guide to Modern American Cooking. It is called Grilled Sole Parmesan there but I changed the name to reflect the cooking style. This is not grilled! I am putting here for future use. ***For the reviewer who wanted advice on how to prevent fish from sticking: try a Teflon or other non-stick pan and use plastic spatulas to move the fish around gently to avoid breaking the fish. Hope this helps.

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 sole fillets
Salt and pepper
Olive oil, for sauteing
White Wine Mustard Sauce, recipe follows
Green olives, chopped
Zucchini Fritters, recipe follows
Rice Almandine, recipe follows
1 cup white wine
1 cup yellow mustard

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
Vegetable oil, for sauteing
1 cup long grain rice
1/8 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Remove skin the sole fillets with a knife, leaving only the white flesh of the fish. Season each fillet on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, over high heat. Place the sole fillets in the pan and sear both sides until they are slightly brown and cooked through. Top each fillet with the white wine mustard sauce and diced green olives. Plate with Zucchini Fritters and Rice Almandine.
  • In a medium sized saute pan, reduce the wine by 1/2 over medium-high heat. Add the mustard and the cream and stir thoroughly until the flavors have combined.
  • Thoroughly clean the skin of the zucchini. With a standing grater, shred the zucchini and place in colander to drain the water. Add salt, to taste. In a medium sized bowl, combine the egg, breadcrumbs, and garlic. Add the zucchini to the bowl and toss until it is covered with the breadcrumb mixture. Form the mixture into small patties. In a large saute pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, and add the patties to the pan. Cook the fritters until both sides are browned and crispy.
  • In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice to the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and allow the rice to simmer until all of the water is absorbed. In a small pan, saute the cranberries and almonds in butter over medium heat. Add the cranberries and the almonds to the rice before serving.
