Potato Crusted Codfish Steaks With Lemon Butter Sauce
Servings: 4
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the Large eggs with the mustard. In a third shallow bowl, place dry mashed potato flakes.
- In a large ovenproof saute/fry pan, heat oil.
- Dip the steaks first in the flour, then the egg mix, and finally in the potato. Add in the fish to the saute/fry pan and cook for 2 min per side. Then place the fish into the oven for 4 min, till the fish is cooked through and golden brown.
- To serve, spoon the Lemon Butter Sauce in the center of each plate. Place the crusted steaks in the center of the sauce.
- Lemon Butter Sauce: Set a large non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Add in the wine, lemon juice, garlic, and shallots. Cook for 5 to 6 min or possibly till liquid is reduced by 2/3.
- Over low heat, whisk in 6 Tbsp. of the butter a few pats at a time. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining 4 Tbsp. of the butter 1 Tbsp. at a time. Continue whisking till all of the butter is incorporated into the sauce.
- Strain the sauce, pressing all of the liquid into a bowl. Stir in the parsley. Serve immediately, or possibly keep hot for a few min till ready to use. (Makes 1/2 c.)
