Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a shallow dish, stir together the flour and 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and gradually stir in the milk.
  4. Heat clarified butter in a heavy skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-low heat until it reaches about 350 degrees F (177C).
  5. Rub the fish fillets well with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Creole seasoning mix.
  6. Dredge the seasoned fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  7. Dip the floured fillets into the egg wash, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. Let the excess egg wash drip off, then dip the fillets back into the flour mixture for a second coating.
  9. Carefully place the fillets in the hot skillet, presentation side down.
  10. Fry until the bottom is well-browned, then turn the fillets once.
  11. Cook for about one minute after turning, then immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  12. Bake for several minutes until the fish is opaque and the top is crisp.
  13. Remove the fillets to a serving platter.
  14. Spread the Pecan Butter over the hot fillets.
  15. Garnish with minced parsley and chopped roasted pecans.
  16. Serve immediately.
