Ingredients

  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup Whole milk
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Plain dried bread crumbs
  • Salt
  • 20 oz Flounder fillets
  • 1 stick Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice, plus wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk. Spread the flour and bread crumbs in 2 separate wide, shallow bowls and season with salt.

  4. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with another 2 tbsp of butter and the remaining oil and fish.
  5. Wipe out the skillet. Whisk in the remaining 4 tbsp of butter and the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and season with salt.
  6. Spoon the sauce over the fish, garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
