Whitefish Grenoble Style

"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 . . ."

ingredients

  • 2 (6 -8 ounce) white fish fillets
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon pepper
  • 14 teaspoon granulated garlic

directions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • **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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in northern Minnesota with my husband. We have a dog, Buddy, who is a shepherd-collie mix. We also have a cat, Tigger, who is a brown Tabby. We both like to cook, but I'm the one that gets our meals on the table on a daily basis. My husband enjoys his role as reviewer/critic. I know a recipe is worthy of a 5-star review when my husband gives me a "top shelf, baby" after finishing his meal. If I don't hear that phrase, it just isn't a 5-star recipe. So far, I've always agreed with his reviews. If I ever think he's wrong, I'll have to rethink our system! I've never been a really good cook, but I've always been great at following directions. Thanks to recipezaar, I just have to find the great recipes and they make me look good! It really doesn't get any better than that!
