Crisp Seared Skate Wing On Sweet Pea Shoots Slivered Almonds And Lemongrass Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the skate with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides in the semolina. Heat a large skillet over high heat and sear both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the crabmeat, Aioli, and scallion. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Top the skate with the crabmeat mixture and bake for 5 minutes.
• Arrange the arugula on a plate and top with the skate. Drizzle with the Aioli and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
• In a food processor, blend the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and chipotle pepper. With the motor running, drizzle the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the mixture thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Put the skate fillets in a dish large enough to hold them in one layer. Pour the milk over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the fillets in the milk so they are coated on both sides.
• Scatter the flour over a large dish. Lightly dredge the fillets in the flour on both sides.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the fillets. If it is necessary to do this in two batches, use the same oil. Saute on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. When the fillets are done, transfer them to a warm platter or serving plate.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return the skillet to the heat. Melt the butter and add the red peppers, shaking the pan frequently until the butter turns light brown. Add the capers, cook briefly, and add the shallots, vinegar and parsley. Cook briefly; then stir and pour the sauce over each fillet evenly. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Dredge Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat as you season skate with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
• Sauté When pan is hot, add oil and heat until shimmering. Add skate pieces, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, and sauté until fish is golden brown underneath, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Carefully turn pieces over with a fish spatula and reduce heat to medium. Cook until fish is uniformly opaque and browned on the other side, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Brown butter Wipe pan with paper towels and set over medium-low heat. Drop butter pieces into pan and swirl constantly (to cook evenly) until butter is melted and golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in thyme and citrus juices; the butter will spatter a bit. Add hazelnuts, then remove from heat.
• Serve Divide skate pieces among plates, arrange three grapefruit segments over each serving, and drizzle evenly with hazelnut brown butter. Serve immediately.
• Skate is a type of ray fish, with flat pectoral fins (called wings) that give it a batlike appearance. The wings are the most desirable part of the fish, with a delicate, flaky texture. They are most commonly sautéed and served with brown butter and capers.
