Pan-Fried Fish with Lemon Hollandaise Sauce

This recipe is double-nicked, in that I got it from Fish Fanatics and they got it from the Seafish Industry.  I’ve just cooked it with the disaster-prone flour and it was definitely worth stealing. But as the real beneficiaries are the fishermen and their industry made up the recipe, does anybody really care?

The ingredients are as follows and the quantities serve two.

• 2 sole or plaice fillets, defrosted and skinned. I actually used haddock, line-caught of course
• 30g (1oz) plain flour
• salt and freshly milled black pepper
• 1 15ml spoon (1 tbsp) olive oil
• 30g (1oz) butter
• 125ml hollandaise sauce
• 1 15ml spoon (1 tesp) lemon juice
• fresh chopped parsley, to garnish

The method is as follows.

1. Dip the fish in seasoned flour.  Shake off any excess.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the butter.  Cook each fillet for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
3. Add the hollandaise sauce and lemon juice.  Simmer for 2-3 minutes.  
4. Garnish and serve with potatoes and green vegetables.
