Raie Au Beurre Noisette Skate With Brown Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange fish pieces in one layer, slightly overlapping, in a skillet or casserole. Add water to cover, the white vinegar, salt, bay leaf, peppercorns and thyme.
• Bring to a boil and let simmer over low heat about 2 minutes or less. Turn off heat and let stand until ready to serve. Do not let stand for more than a very few minutes. Transfer fish pieces to a layer of paper towels. Then transfer drained pieces of fish to a heated serving dish.
• To make sauce, heat a heavy skillet, preferably of black iron, almost to smoking. Add butter; when it melts and starts to darken, add capers. Cook, shaking skillet and stirring, about 1 minute, or until butter starts to blacken. Add red-wine vinegar and parsley, swirling it around, and pour sauce over fish.

Steps:

• Put about 1 1/2 inches water in a large heavy pan. Simmer the onion, parsley, lemon and peppercorns for about 5 minutes.
• Add the pieces of skate and simmer gently for 15 minutes, covered. Remove, drain, place on a serving plate and keep warm.
• In a small pan heat the butter until it turns golden brown. Do not burn it. Pour the butter over the fish. Add the vinegar and capers to the saucepan, bring to boil and pour over fish.
• Serve immediately with boiled potatoes.
