Cornmeal-Dusted Skate

The cornmeal coating makes for a surprisingly crispy texture. This method works very well with any skinless fish you want to pan-fry. Serve this with a potato salad.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 skate wings, 5 oz each, bones removed and cleaned
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 lemon, zested
2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place skate wings in a shallow dish with buttermilk for 30 minutes.
  2. Combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, lemon zest and Italian parsley in a small bowl.
  3. Dredge skate wings in cornmeal coating and shake off any excess.
  4. Heat oil in a 10-inch, non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place skate pieces in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Gently turn over fish with a spatula and cook for 1 more minute.
  6. Remove from pan and serve.
