  • Petrale sole, a Pacific Coast fish, is prized for its delicate flavor and thick fillets.
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper plus additional for seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, lemon peel, coarse salt, and 1/2 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 saute until almost translucent, about 2 minutes.

Add brussels sprouts and broth.

Increase heat to mediumhigh 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.
