I’ve been having fish a lot lately, and been having great luck getting great pieces of fish. I usually get it from my fav fish market David’s Fish Market. Fresh off the boat!
I’ve been making it Meuniere style, and love it that way, but wanted a change.
I love anything Piccata, so thought this would be perfect for the thick, white fish.
Oh my…if I got this in a restaurant, I would be back over and over for it! It was that good. Thick, white juicy fish, that flakes apart in huge chucks. With a delicious buttery, lemon wine sauce that is good enough to drink (well in my opinion anyway!).
If you love lemon as I do, you’ve gotta try this Haddock Piccata recipe! Make sure the fish you buy is the “freshest you can get”. Not frozen. It should smell like the sea. And make sure you get the thickest fillet possible.
Oh my, I could eat this every night!
Put some flour in a ziptop bag, and add fish and shake gently until coated. In a large skillet, melt about 3 tablespoons of the butter with the oil over medium heat. When the butter foam has subsided, slip the fillets into the skillet. Sauté over medium to medium-high heat until lightly golden, about 3 minutes a side for thick fillets, turning them only once. Transfer to a heated platter and reduce the heat to medium-low. Remove any excess brown butter. Add the capers, garlic and wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and about 1 tablespoon of butter to create a smooth sauce. Stir in the parsley and taste. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.Haddock Piccata
