Sturgeon Piccata

Submitted by: BHonan

This same recipe I used with venison for my Venison Piccata recipe. You can use almost any protein and it always comes out delicious.


Prep Time: 0 Hr  30 Min
Cook Time: 0 Hr  30 Min
Serves: 4
Ingredients

1 pound sturgeon cut into ½ thick and 2 inch long chunks (roughly)
1 cup AP flour
1 cube of unsalted butter (reserve 2 tablespoons)
1 cup chicken stock
Juice of one lemon
3 tablespoons capers, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Season your sturgeon pieces generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Put flour in a bowl and get ready to dredge the sturgeon pieces. Heat up 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and once it's nice and warm dredge a seasoned piece of sturgeon in flour, shake off the access and drop into the skillet. Do about two pieces at a time depending on size. Flip after about 1 minute or so and if your pieces are rather thin then less time is fine. Set cooked sturgeon aside on a plate or somewhere you can keep it warm. Add more butter to the skillet as needed and between batches. Once all the pieces of sturgeon are cooked add 1 cup of chicken stock to the same pan and stir and whisk the bits from the bottom. Cook until the stock starts to thicken up to about 1/2 a cup. Then add your lemon juice and cook until the mixture thickens. Once it's nice and thick turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon at a time of butter from the 2 tablespoons you had reserved. Then stir in the 3 tablespoons of capers. Serve sturgeon steaks with sauce over them.
