Pan Sauteed Sole/Flounder Parmesan
"From A Guide to Modern American Cooking. It is called Grilled Sole Parmesan there but I changed the name to reflect the cooking style. This is not grilled! I am putting here for future use. ***For the reviewer who wanted advice on how to prevent fish from sticking: try a Teflon or other non-stick pan and use plastic spatulas to move the fish around gently to avoid breaking the fish. Hope this helps."

This recipe caught my eye since it is very similar to one I use frequently. To the reviewer with the question, Fish can be contrary. What I have learned from cooking fish at least twice a week with a seafood loving husband is to use a non-stick pan, don't have your heat too high, and don't try to turn too quickly. Your change in oil choice should have made no difference. When the fish is ready to release from the pan, it will let you know...you can push it and it will move. Until that happens, do NOT try to lift it with a spatula. Can you tell I learned this the hard way? -
This was fabulous!!! Thank you for sharing!!! The recipe works beautifully if followed exactly - you have to make sure to let the oil heat before adding the fish. Test it by sprinkling a few drops of water on the oil - if it sizzles it's hot - if not, then your fish will probably stick. -
Well, I tried your recipe. I used olive oil instead of veg. oil, and it stuck like crazy to my pan! I think I am going to try to bake this and see if it does any better! Any suggestions anyone?

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
