Petrale Sole with Lemon-Shallot Brussels Sprouts

Bon Appétit
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper plus additional for seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 12 ounces petrale sole fillets
  • ¾ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 6 ounces brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Combine flour, lemon peel, coarse salt, and ½ teaspoon white pepper in shallow bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in each of 2 large skillets over medium heat. Coat fish in flour mixture and shake off excess. Add fish to skillets and cook until opaque and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt. Cover loosely with foil and set aside.

Wipe out 1 skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until almost translucent, about 2 minutes. Add brussels sprouts and broth. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until brussels sprouts are tender and liquid is almost completely absorbed, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

Spoon brussels sprouts onto plates. Top with fish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve.
