Ingredients
Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Season the fillets with salt and pepper on all sides and coat them in plain flour. Tap off any excess flour with your hand.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt 50 g of butter. Place the fish skin-side down and cook for 1.5 minutes. Reduce the heat to one-third, flip the fish, and cook for half a minute on the other side. Remove it from the pan, place it skin-side up on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes.
Chef's tip
Use smaller sage leaves – they are younger and more flavorful. If you only have large ones, chop them coarsely. You can substitute wine with lemon juice. In that case, use the juice from half a fresh lemon. If you like fish tarter, drizzle it with more lemon. Crispy white bread, potatoes, or roasted vegetables are suitable with this dish.
