TILAPIA MILANESE RECIPE - (4/5)

Lightly beat the eggs in another dish. Pulse the bread, parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 tsp salt in food processor until crumbs form. Put in 3rd dish. One at a time, remove the fillets from the milk and dredge in the flour, then eggs and then breadcrumbs. Transfer to large plate and let set 1/2 hour. Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 T olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium high. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat adding more olive oil and butter. Put in oven and bake until cooked through about 8 minutes. Toss arugula with remaining 1-2 T. olive oil and salt and pepper. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

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.
