Instructions
- Begin setting up your breading station. Season your flour with salt and pepper. Then whisk your eggs with salt, pepper, and the grated garlic. Then season your panko with parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
- Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat in flour, then egg, and finally in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Set aside until you’re ready to fry.
- Mix the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, mustard, and olive oil. Then set aside and make the salad by thinly slicing fennel and the celery. Add the fennel, celery, and arugula to a bowl and season with salt & pepper. Add as much dressing as you’d like and mix until fully coated.
- Add your olive oil to a fry pan and heat to 350°. Once hot, carefully add the fish. Shallow fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove and set aside and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Plate the sole, top each piece with the fennel salad, and finish with freshly grated parm. Enjoy!
