Venetian Sole Recipe
Step 1: Season fish with salt and pepper. Dip in flour to coat and shake off excess.
Step 2: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat; in batches, cook fish fillets for 5 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Step 3: With a slotted spoon, remove any bits of fish or flour from the skillet. Add a little more oil (or drain excess) so that you have 1 tbsp oil in skillet. Reduce heat to medium; add onions and cook for 5 minutes or until golden and soft.
Step 4: Add wine, wine vinegar, bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon; bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Arrange fish in single layer in a 8″ square baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour hot marinade over fish and let cool to room temperature.
Step 6: Sprinkle with raisins and pine nuts, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Step 7: Serve at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped parsley, if desired.
