Venetian Marinated Fish - {Saor Alla Venezia}

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: Italian
Type: Fish
Courses: Main Course

2 lbs 908g / 32ozSole or flounder fillets
  Flour - for dredging
1/2 cup 118mlExtra-virgin olive oil
2 cups 125g / 4.4ozThinly-sliced white onions
1/4 cup 59mlRed wine vinegar

Recipe Instructions

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.
