Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature or warm setting, and have a baking sheet ready.
-
Lightly salt the skate wings and let them stand for 15 minutes.
-
Heat a skillet over high heat for 3 minutes, then reduce to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
-
Dredge skate wings in flour, shake off excess, then fry in the butter over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, carefully flipping.
-
Transfer the cooked skate wings to the prepared baking sheet and place in the warm oven; if needed, bake at 350 F for 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
-
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and cook over medium heat until it turns light brown.
-
Carefully add wine to the skillet, scrape any browned bits from the pan, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the alcohol.
-
Plate the fish, pour the brown butter sauce over, garnish with chives, and serve immediately.
