LIGHTLY BATTERED FISH WITH SAGE
BUTTER SAUCE

Fish:

2-4 fish fillets, tilapia recommended
2-4 toasted slices of bread
1/2 cup flour
2-3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 cup olive oil

Sage Butter Sauce:

1/2 stick butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch dried rosemary
4-6 leaves sage
1 teaspoon garlic

To prepare the fish, first toast your bread until is crispy golden brown all the way through. Then, place your bread in the food processor. Add the pepper, salt, dried sage, dried rosemary, and olive oil. Turn on the food processor and process long enough to make breadcrumbs.

Next, crack eggs into a small bowl, then add the flour. Now, drench fish fillets for 4-5 seconds in the eggs, then drop them into the breadcrumbs.

Make sure to coat the fish with breadrumbs, but don't overcoat it.

After all this is done, set a frying pan to use, drizzle a little olive on to it, and cook the fish.

To prepare the sauce: While fish is cooking, put butter and olive oil into another frying pan. When the butter is half-way through melting, add the sage, rosemary, salt, and garlic. When the butter is fully melted and crackling, let it sit there to really get the flavor into the sauce. This should take about a minute to stand.

Then, when done, drizzle this sauce over the fish and you are sure to have a delicious dinner:).

We really enjoyed this fish recipe. The only thing I will do differently the next time I make it, is to use sour dough French bread. Thanks for the recipe!

I have been a gourmet chef, that has been in the food service industry for over 31 years. Looking for something different, I gave this dish a try. This dish lacks flavor. If you decide to try this may I suggest sprinkling on Old Bay before dredging. As fish is done cooking squeeze with fresh lemon. When making the butter sauce: Do not add the garlic until the last 2 minutes . The butter EVOO and spices need to slow simmer for several minutes. Add a 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice to the sauce. Then add 2 T. of flour to make a rue. Blend well with a whisk, and add one cup of hot water, while continuing to simmer. Once thickened. Pour over fish and serve.

Great recipe - and thanks! If you enjoy a more intense sage butter taste you can simmer the butter and sage for 5-10 minutes - making sure you don't burn the butter. Also if you use sweet cream butter (without salt) this can provide a nutty taste without the foamy separation from using the salted version. You can use Panko with good results as an alternative to the toast - nothing wrong with the toast however! Just some variations on your great theme.
