Preparation
STEP 1

For salsa verde mince/smash garlic with salt until you get a paste-like consistency. Add to a small bowl.

STEP 2

To garlic paste add chopped anchovies, capers, mustard, basil, parsley, olive oil, lime juice and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

STEP 3

Dry skate wings with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and coat with flour (shaking off any excess).

STEP 4

Heat a large (10-12 inch) skillet to high heat and coat with oil. Once hot add skate wings. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until golden browned. Use a sharp knife to peak at the flesh around the bone, once cooked, it looks creamy white.

STEP 5

Reduce heat to low and pour salsa around the fish to warm, but not cook. Serve skate wings immediately with salsa verde.
