PEANUT-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS WITH FRIED BANANAS
Steps:
- Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a large ovenproof skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the banana slices for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer them with a spatula to a plate. Pat the fish dry and sprinkle it with the cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Have ready in separate shallow dishes the egg beaten with the salt and the peanuts. Dip each fillet in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it in the peanuts. To the skillet add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, heat it over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, and in it sauté the fillets for 3 minutes. Turn the fillets, top them with the banana slices, and sauté them for 2 minutes more. Drizzle the fish with the lime juice, transfer the skillet to the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, and bake the fish for 5 minutes. Transfer the fillets with a spatula to 2 heated plates and serve them with the lime wedges.
SOLE ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Dover sole is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use other flat fish such as flounder or plaice.
- Clean the fish properly: Make sure to remove all the scales, fins, and entrails from the fish before cooking.
- Season the fish well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Cook the fish gently: Sole is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently over medium heat.
- Do not overcook the fish: Sole should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center.
- Serve the fish immediately: Sole is best served immediately after cooking, with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Sole with bananas is a classic French dish that is both simple and delicious. It is a great choice for a special occasion meal, or for a weeknight dinner. The delicate flavor of the sole pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy bananas, and the crispy breadcrumbs add a nice textural contrast. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook sole, I highly recommend trying this recipe.
