Fish Fillet
"Fish swim in water and should swim in butter when fried," as the saying goes. We live up to this with this delicious recipe for butter-fried, breaded plaice fillets.
Ingredients
- 4 pcs. Plaice Fillet
- 3 pcs. Egg Yolk
- 300 gram Grate
- 52 gram Wheat Flour
- 40 gram Butter
- Spices Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by ensuring all the fish bones are removed from your plaice fillets. We use thin plaice fillets (about 1 cm thick) and generally estimate 2 pieces per person.
- 20 minutes before preparing the plaice fillets, they should be gourmet-salted. This means sprinkling salt over them on both sides. This draws some of the moisture out of the fish, making it more succulent.
- Wipe the salt off the fish.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and let it foam before adding the fillets.
- Beat the egg yolks and place them on a plate. Pour the flour onto a separate plate and put the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Grind a bit of pepper and salt into the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the fillets in the flour, then in the egg yolks, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry them for 2.5 minutes on each side, and they're ready to serve.
- Serve them with French Fries and remoulade or as part of a Stjerneskud.
