Pan fried Petrale sole with mustard-caper-wine sauce
Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil and a pat of butter (maybe two)
½ cup of white flour for dredging
1 lb petrale sole fillets
salt & pepper as you like it
1 lemon, cut half into wedges and keep the other for squeezing
your favorite mustard
3 Tbsp capers
white wine, for the sauce and for the chef to get saucy
Method
Turn your oven (or toaster oven) to about 300
Open your package, admire the fillets, and salt and pepper your fish
Put about a cup of flour in a shallow bowl
Heat your pan on medium-high, then add the oil and butter, swirl to coat
Dredge your fish fillets in the flour, tap off any excess, then add to the hot pan
Sauté 3 minutes per side, flip and repeat, add salt and pepper as you see fit
Pile your cooked fillets on a plate and transfer to the oven to stay warm while you get saucy
Melt a little more butter in your pan, sprinkle in some leftover flour, and heat on low, slowly adding a splash of wine to thin, stir, splash, repeat
Add 2 Tbsp mustard and more wine, and whisk as it heats through. Add capers, let it thicken and reduce to a nice saucy texture
Plate your fish, top with the sauce, squeeze with a lemon and kiss yourself! (pictured here with rice pilaf and green salad)
