Ingredients
- Scrod fillets
- 4 (6 oz each)
- All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons
- White wine
- 1 cup
- Seedless grapes
- 1 cup, halved
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges
- for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Dredge each scrod fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling.
- Add the scrod fillets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned and just cooked through.
- Transfer the browned fillets to a baking dish and pour the white wine over the top.
- Scatter the halved grapes around the fillets throughout the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is baking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through, being careful not to boil.
- Once the baking time is up, remove the dish from the oven and pour the warmed heavy cream over the fish and grapes.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for added color and flavor.
- Serve the Boston Scrod Veronique hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
Tips
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend.
- You can add a touch of garlic or shallots to the butter when cooking the fish for an extra layer of flavor.
- Consider pairing this dish with a light, crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, to enhance the dining experience.
