"This recipe is adapted from a cookbook entitled Best Recipes of Michigan Inns and Restaurants by Margaret E. Guthrie. This is a menu item served at Arie's Cafe in Plainwell, Michigan. If you ever find yourself in Southwest Michigan, do yourself a favor and have a meal at Arie's Cafe. It's worth going out of your way to find. My sister had her wedding rehearsal dinner there and it holds special memories for me. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do . . ."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 (6 -8 ounce) white fish fillets
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 ounce clarified butter

• Grenoble Sauce

• 1⁄2 cup diced lemon
• 1⁄4 cup diced fresh tomato (avoid using canned)
• 1⁄4 cup capers
• 1 ounce fresh butter

directions

1. Mix the salt, pepper, and garlic with the flour in a plate or pie plate. Pour milk into a separate pie plate and dip the fillets in milk, then dredge in the seasoned flour.
2. Heat saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 ounce clarified butter. Place fillets in pan, skin side down (**I always use skinless fish). Cook until golden brown, turn over and cook until done.
3. Remove fillets onto a plate. While pan is still hot, wipe the pan out with a clean damp rag or paper towels. Place back on the stove. Add fresh butter; when it starts to brown add the Grenoble sauce and saute until heated, approximately 1-2 minutes. Pour the warmed Grenoble sauce over the fillets** and serve.
4. **After reading the first review of this recipe I wanted to add a final note. The cookbook says to serve only 1 tablespoon of the Grenoble sauce over each fillet. That may help in making the dish more balanced, as opposed to using all of the sauce.

This dish was interesting but a bit bitter tasting. I will try it again but cut back on the capers quite a bit. Pretty dish that presents well and is easy to make.
