Red Fish Meuniere Pecan Recipes

PECAN-CRUSTED FISH WITH CITRUS MEUNIèRE

Steps:

• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the pecans, flour, thyme, orange zest, and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until well blended but not powdery. Transfer the pecan mixture to a plate. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the fish into the egg mixture, then into the pecan mixture. Press to coat the fillets.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and when hot but not smoking, add the fish. Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter or plates and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Spoon finished sauce over fish. Serve immediately.
• Melt the butter in a pan and let it foam and turn golden brown. Swirl the pan to see the milk solids on the bottom. When it is nice and brown, pour in the juices and swirl the pan to mix. Add the parsley, season with salt, pepper, and a few drops of hot sauce, and swirl.

RED FISH MEUNIERE PECAN

Steps:

• Combine corn flower, white flour, creole seasoning, and white pepper together in a bowl or dish.
• Heat olive oil and one tablespoon butter in large frying pan on Med heat.
• Dredge red fish (can sub trout) in seasoned flour mixture, making sure to tap extra flour off before placing in hot pan. Turn heat to Med-High and let cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, lightly shaking the pan by the handle over the heat for the first minute to avoid the fish from sticking (and again when you flip over).
• Once fish is done remove and place on a plate or serving dish.
• Immediately add butter, lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire and sprinkle of salt to hot pan. Let butter melt and the sauce start to bubble, will turn a very light brownish color. Remove pan from heat and pour the butter/meuniere sauce over fillets.
• Sprinkle fillets with toasted pecan pieces.
• Serve with rice and veggies. I like to garnish with thin lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
