Breaded Filet Of Sole

Sole is delicious and simple when breaded and pan-fried. Do not even put the sole in the pan until it's medium-hot, and until you're 4 minutes away from eating. Sole cools quickly; you might even consider putting your plates in an oven on low to warm.

Ingredients


Preparation

Consider pre-heating your dinner plates in the oven on the very lowest setting. Sole will cool quickly, due to its large surface area, and is far better served warm.

Whisk egg and milk together; add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Set out 3 plates. Place egg mixture in one, spread flour in another, and breadcrumbs in the third.

Take rinsed and dried fillets, and:

1) dredge in flour, and shake off excess. Then,

2) coat with egg, and wipe off excess, then

3) coat liberally with seasoned breadcrumbs

Wait until you are only about 6 minutes away from sitting down and eating, then proceed. Sole cools very quickly.

Put large flat saute pan on medium high, place olive oil in it, and allow it to come up to full heat, about 2 minutes. Do not rush this step you really want the pan piping hot! Then, place sole in the pan, dropping it down away from you to prevent hot oil from splattering on you. Wait about 2 minutes, until filets are browned, and flip.

This was very good! It was simple to prepare and had a deliciously delicate flavor. Even people who aren't sure if they like fish will love these lightly crunchy fillets! Don't be tempted to use fresh bread crumbs for this recipe -- it won't be as good.

Suggested wine pairing: Sauvignon blanc or sparkling wine. Either will balance the flavors of the fish and temper the fish oils. Be sure to serve this fish with at least 1 lemon wedge. [I made edits to this recipe.]

In terms of quantities, the rule of thumb with seafood is often half a pound per person. Yet whenever we buy sole this way, we find we have way, waaaaay too much. So, we specify two fillets per person at the seafood counter; we strongly prefer the flavor of wild Dover Sole above other varieties. This basic breading technique above can be used for a wide variety of fish. [I posted this recipe.]
