Sautéed Skate Wing with Brown Butter Caper Sauce

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Season both sides of the skate wing with salt and pepper to taste, and then dredge in the flour, brushing off any excess.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Carefully place the fish in the pan, presentation side down, and cook until a deep golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip the fish over and continue to sauté until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes depending on the thickness. Place the fish on a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.

Pour off the fat from the pan and wipe it clean with a paper towel.

Heat the same sauté pan over medium heat. Add the 1/2 stick butter and cook until it turns golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the parsley, lemon juice and capers. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and spoon the sauce over the fish.
