BREADED FILLETS OF SOLE WITH TOMATOES

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.
