Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets sole or flounder fillets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Pat the sole or flounder fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Let the butter melt and begin to foam slightly.
Place the coated fillets in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining fillets, adding more butter and oil to the skillet if needed.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
