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.

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sole fillets or 4 large flounder fillets
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt
white pepper
paprika, to taste
lemon juice

Steps:

  • Season the grated cheese with pepper and paprika to taste.
  • Dip fish in the eggs and then coat in the parmesan.
  • Heat oil in frying pan and add fish cooking about 2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, over medium-high heat,.
  • Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
  • Serve with lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, opaque flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has slimy flesh.
  • Use a light hand with the seasonings. Sole and flounder are delicate fish, so you don't want to overpower their flavor with too many spices or herbs. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is usually all you need.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat. High heat will overcook the fish and make it tough. Medium heat will allow the fish to cook through gently and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will steam instead of sautéing. This will make the fish mushy and bland.
  • Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked fish is tough and dry. When the fish is cooked through, it should flake easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

Sautéed sole or flounder is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is delicate and flavorful, and it pairs well with a variety of sides. Whether you serve it with rice, potatoes, or vegetables, sautéed sole or flounder is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious seafood dish, give sautéed sole or flounder a try.
