Here’s my flour-free, fish version of the Italian preparation known as piccata. Using a fair bit of chicken stock in place of additional additional oil and butter gives the sauce a light flavour that doesn’t overpower the fish. Of course you could use a fish other than pickerel, though for me it’s fresh and local, making it a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

Time: 20 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/address>\n
1 pound fresh pickerel filets<\/address>\n
\u00bc teaspoon kosher salt<\/address>\n
\u00bc teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<\/address>\n
\u00bc cup chicken stock<\/address>\n
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<\/address>\n
2 tablespoons butter<\/address>\n
4 tablespoons capers \u2013 drained<\/address>\n
4 tablespoons fresh parsley – chopped<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n

Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat a large cast frying pan over medium heat and add the oil.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle both sides of the fish filets with the salt and pepper then add to the pan, cooking for three minutes on each side. Carefully remove from the pan and set aside.<\/p>\n

Turn off the burner then add the stock and lemon juice to the pan, mixing with the oil and scraping up any caramelized bits.<\/p>\n

Pour this mixture into a small pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and whisk in the butter, stirring constantly. Do not let the sauce boil. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n

Top the fish filets with the lemon\/butter sauce, capers and parsley, serving immediately.<\/p>\n
