Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  • 1 ½ pound skinless, boneless flounder, striped sea bass, or sole filets

  • 3 tablespoon butter

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 2 tablespoon capers plus 1 teaspoon pickling liquid

  • ¼ cup dry white wine or lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish combine the flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Dip fish in flour mixture to coat. Shake off excess flour so only a dusting remains.

  2. In an extra-large skillet heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high until hot and foamy. Immediately add fish; cook 2 minutes or until bottoms are golden. Turn fish; spoon on capers and pickling liquid. Cook 2 minutes more or until bottoms are golden and slightly crispy and fish just flakes when tested with a fork. Remove fish to a platter; tent with foil to keep warm.

  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet. Cook and stir until butter is just golden brown. Remove from heat. Carefully add wine to skillet; return to heat. Cook and stir mixture about 1 minute or until bubbly and slightly reduced. Pour pan juices over fish. Top with parsley and serve with lemon slices. Serves 6.
