White Fish Amandine Meuniere Recipes

SOLE MEUNIèRE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.
• Place flour on a large, shallow plate. Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess.
• In a 12-inch nonstick or enamel-lined skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter until bubbling. Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.
• Arrange the fish on a warm serving platter. Top with parsley. In reserved skillet, heat remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter until bubbling and golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then pour evenly over fillets. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.

WHITE FISH FILLETS AMANDINE

Steps:

• Cut fillets into 6 portions. Combine flour, seasoned salt, and paprika; mix well. Roll fish in flour mixture. Place fish in a single layer, skin side down, in a well greased 15 by 10 by 1 inche baking pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons melted butter over fish. Broil about 4 inches from source of heat about 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. While fish is broiling, saute almonds in remaining butter in a fry pan and allow to turn a golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, parsley; mix. Pour over fish. Serve at once.

FISH IN BUTTER SAUCE (FISH MEUNIèRE)

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry. Dust with flour, and shake off any excess. Sprinkle them on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Prepare a heavy pan with the olive oil and 1 TB butter. Heat on medium-high until butter is melted but not browned, then turn the heat down to medium.
• Place the fillets in the pan and cook 2-4 minutes. Don't touch the fillets until they're ready to flip.Note: Thin fillets like flounder will need to cook approx. 2 minutes per side, Dover sole 2-3 min per side, cod + halibut 4 min per side.
• Use a thin metal spatula to test the fish. If you can slide the spatula under the fish without the fish sticking to the pan, it's ready to flip. If the fillets won't release- give them another 30 seconds. They'll release when they've finished cooking.
• Cook fish another 2-4 minutes until done.(See note above for cook time.)
• Divide the 1 TB butter over both fillets. Transfer the fish to plates, leaving the excess butter in the pan. Cover fish to keep warm, or set fish in a 200ºF oven.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the wine to the pan, and allow it to reduce for about a minute. Add the remaining butter and lemon juice and stir with a wooden spoon. Add half the herbs and stir again.
• Optionally, cut remaining lemon in half. Turn heat to high, and set lemon cut-side down on the hot pan. Char 2-3 minutes until the cut side is charred.
• Serve fish hot with pan sauce, remaining herbs, and optional capers and lemons.
