3/4 Lb. Petrale Sole Fillets
1 Egg
2 Tbsp. Water
1 Cup Coconut Flour*
Kosher Salt
Freshly Ground
Cracked Black Pepper
3 Tbsp. Butter

Rinse fish fillets & pat dry. Season with kosher salt & freshly ground cracked black pepper. Beat 1 egg into a shallow bowl, add 2 Tbsp. of water & mix together.

Take 1-piece of fish at a time & place in the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture being sure to have an even coating on each side. Repeat with the 2nd piece of fish. Set aside. Heat a non-stick pan, add 1 Tbsp. of butter & EVOO to the pan, allow to heat to medium-high, not smoking. Gently place fish in the pan & brown until it turns light golden in color before flipping over. Approximately 2 minutes per side. Add 1 Tbsp. butter & EVOO as needed. Fish will be done when it easily flakes & is no longer translucent. Remove from the pan & place on warm plates.
