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.
  • Fish Fillet
  • 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.
