Antoine's Pompano Pontchartrain
 
Ingredients
  • 4 (7- to 8-ounce) pompano fillets*, skin on
  • Kosher salt and ground white pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cottonseed or canola oil

Add wine and lemon juice; sauté for 2 minutes. Add crabmeat and parsley; sauté for 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Spoon over pompano fillets. Serve with French bread.
