  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 Haddock Fillets

Instructions

Prep Produce

  • Peel and finely slice 1 shallot, mince 3 garlic cloves, and wash and coarsely chop fresh parsley.
  • Slice 2 lemons thinly for garnish.

Prep Fish

  • Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each filet in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into a beaten egg mixture.

Cook Fish & Make Sauce

  • In a skillet, heat 4 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the shallots and garlic until soft. Deglaze with 1/2 cup white wine, scraping up browned bits.
  • Add 1 cup chicken broth and reduce. Whisk in 2 tbsp of cold butter until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine

  • Return the fish to the pan, spooning the sauce over the fillets. Let it simmer for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
