Ingredients

• 4 pieces Plaice fillets
• 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 medium, finely chopped Shallot
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Pat the plaice fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

On a large plate, spread out the flour. Dredge the plaice fillets lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Place two fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fillets and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil, and fillets.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill to the sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Return the cooked plaice fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reheat gently.

Step 10

Serve immediately, spooning any remaining sauce over the fillets. Garnish with extra parsley or dill if desired.
