Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and the melted butter. Season the wings generously with salt and pepper and dredge two of them in the flour. Then dip them into the egg and coat them with bread crumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and butter mixture in a large nonstick skillet and saute over medium heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes for each side. Transfer the wings to a warm platter and repeat with the remaining pieces, adding an additional tablespoon of the oil and butter mixture to the pan before cooking each batch.

  2. Step 2

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil and butter mixture to the pan and saute the mushrooms over medium-low heat until soft and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the lemon juice, capers and 3 tablespoons of water. Boil for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper and pour the mushrooms over the wings. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Really good! Be sure your wings are really fresh. I skipped the mushrooms (would have used if I had any on hand), used a lot more capers than called for; don’t skimp on the butter and oil; used panko.

Unexpectedly a great match to the skate. I'll skip the mushrooms next time though -- they soaked up all the lemon flavor and became too tar.

There is no need to fillet the skate wing. Just ask to have someone get the skin off at the market. The flesh can be easily eaten off the bones with a fork.

This was great! We just had skate cheeks, but it cooked up beautifully, and it was delicious...maybe a bit lemony. But I like things tart!
