Venetian Marinated Fish - {Saor Alla Venezia} Recipe - Cooking Index
During a recent stay in Venice I had an appointment to interview Venetian cooking teacher Fulvia Sesani. One regal red rose was waiting for me in my hotel room. With a note that said, "Benvenuta a Venezia", or "Welcome to Venice".
Cuisine: Italian2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Sole or flounder fillets |
Flour - for dredging | ||
1/2 cup | 118ml | Extra-virgin olive oil |
2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | Thinly-sliced white onions |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Red wine vinegar |
1/3 cup | 78ml | Pine nuts |
1/3 cup | 53g / 1.9oz | Golden raisins |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Chopped candied citron |
Dredge the fish pieces in the flour, shake off the excess, and place on a plate.
In a skillet, heat the oil, then fry the fish on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a serving dish.
In the same oil (add more if necessary), slowly brown the onions about 5 to 7 minutes, until almost caramelized or deep brown in color. Add the vinegar, pine nuts, raisins, and citron. Cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, then pour the mixture over the fish. Cover the fish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 day before serving. To serve, bring to dish to room temperature.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
