Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425. Soak the fish in a bowl with the milk and 2 cups ice for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flour with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper in shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in another dish. Pulse the bread, parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 tsp salt in food processor until crumbs form. Put in 3rd dish.

One at a time, remove the fillets from the milk and dredge in the flour, then eggs and then breadcrumbs. Transfer to large plate and let set 1/2 hour.

Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 T olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium high. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat adding more olive oil and butter. Put in oven and bake until cooked through about 8 minutes.

Toss arugula with remaining 1-2 T. olive oil and salt and pepper. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
