BREADED FILLETS OF SOLE

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 small fillets of sole, flounder or fluke, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1/2 cup flour
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Put the fillets on a flat surface. There may be a small bone line running partly down the center of each fillet. If so, cut on both sides and discard it.
  • Beat the egg, salt, pepper, water and one tablespoon of oil in a flat dish.
  • Put the flour in a flat dish and toss the fillets in it. Shake off excess.
  • Put bread crumbs in a flat dish.
  • Dip the floured fillets, one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat well. Dip them on both sides in the bread crumbs and pat lightly to make the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet and add enough breaded fillets to make one layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, about one and one-half to two minutes. Turn and cook about one and one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish. It may be necessary to add more oil if it disappears. As the fillets are cooked transfer them to a warm serving platter. Continue cooking until all the fillets are done.
  • Pour off the oil from the skillet and wipe it out with paper towels.
  • Put the butter in the skillet and swirl it around over high heat until it starts to foam. Continue cooking until it starts to become hazelnut brown. Pour this over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and serve.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 small skinless, boneless fillets of sole or flounder
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 fresh red, ripe tomatoes
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Peel the tomatoes and cut them in half crosswise. Squeeze gently to remove the seeds. Cut each tomato half into thin, half-inch slices. Set aside.
  • Beat together the egg and melted butter. Pour the mixture into a flat dish.
  • Put the bread crumbs in a flat dish.
  • Dip the fillets, one at a time, into the egg mixture to coat well.
  • As the fillets are coated with egg, dip them in the bread crumbs to coat well. Tap the the fillets with the side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet, preferably Teflon-coated, until it is very hot and almost smoking. Add two fish fillets and cook 1 1/2 minutes on one side, then turn and cook the same amount on the other. Transfer the fillets to a warm serving dish.
  • Cook the second pair of fillets and transfer them to the dish.
  • Heat the two tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add the shallots, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and shaking the skillet, about two minutes. Add the vinegar and toss.
  • Spoon equal portions of the tomato sauce over each fillet. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm fillets of sole. The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for fillets that are white or light pink in color, and that have a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a light touch when breading the fillets. Too much breading will make the fish heavy and greasy. Just a light coating of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs is all you need.
  • Cook the fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning or overcooking. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also top the fillets with a simple lemon-butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded fillets of sole with tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is tender and flaky, and the tomatoes add a bright and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
