Preparation

Step 1

1. Cover the fish with the milk, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Spread out the flour in a pie plate lined with wax paper or parchment

2. Drain the fish, discarding the milk. Season the pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a large nonstick or stick resistant skillet over moderately high heat. Toss the 4 fillet pieces in the flour, lifting the wax paper on both sides to move the fish around; shake off the excess flour. Place the pieces in the skillet and sauté them, turning once, for 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden and almost cooked through. Transfer the fillets to dinner plates and cover them with foil to keep them warm. Make the grenobloise sauce in the same skillet you cooked the fish. Spoon some of the sauce over each portion and serve.

Directions

Add the butter to the same skillet that the fish was cooked; cook, stirring, until it turns a deep brown and smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon pieces, capers, and parsley; swirl skillet to combine. Spoon sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
