Fish Meuniere With Capers


This is from the america's test kitchen cookbook, 2006 edition. this kind of made me think of chicken piccata, only made with fish. use a flatfish, like sole or flounder for best results.

Steps


For the fish: set oven to 200 degrees , and place a heatproof plate in the oven.
Place flour in a baking dish.
Season dry fish fillets with salt and pepper , set aside for 5 minutes or until moisture shows on the surface.
Coat fish with flour , shake off any excess , and set aside on a baking sheet.
In a large non-stick skillet , heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until shimmering.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add two fillets skin side up , to the skillet , and reduce heat to medium high.
Cook the fish without distubing it , about 3 minutes , or until the edges are opaque and the bottom is golden.
Carefully flip the fish , and continue to cook for another two minutes or until the thickest part flakes when a toothpick is inserted.
Transfer the fish to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining fillets.
Wipe the pan clean , and repeat steps 6 through 11 with the other two fillets.
For the browned butter: heat remaining .
