Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Rustic Rub - {Emeril's Rustic Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.

In a mixing bowl, season the flour with Rustic Rub Seasoning. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Season each side of the fillets with Rustic Rub.

Heat the oil in a saute pan. Dredge the fillets in the flour. Dip each fillet in the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, completely. Dredge the fish in the flour. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, pan fry the fillets in the oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the fillets with Rustic Rub.

Discard the oil and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter starts to foam, add the pecans and stir for 1 1/2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir in the parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and cream, for about 15 seconds. Stir in the remaining butter. Season with salt and cayenne.

Mound the potatoes in the center of the plate. Arrange the beans around the potatoes. Lay the fish directly on top of the potatoes. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the peppers and chives.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
