Fillets Of Sole In White Wine Recipes

EASY SOLE MEUNIERE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready
• Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan. Carefully put the fish filets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they're done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

SOLE ROLLS WITH WHITE WINE SAUCE (PAUPIETTES DE SOLE AU VIN BLANC)

Steps:

• Run the fingers lengthwise down the center of each fillet. If there is a tiny bone line at the end near the center base of each fillet, use a small paring knife to cut on either side of this bone line to remove it.
• Lay out the fillets on a flat surface, skinned side down. Using a flat mallet, pound each fillet lightly to flatten. Do not break the flesh.
• Spoon equal portions of the shrimp mousse into the center of each fillet. Roll up each fillet to enclose the filling. Fold the ends of each fillet over the mousse to enclose it.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Select a baking dish large enough to hold the paupiettes of sole comfortably in one layer. Rub the bottom of the dish with one teaspoon of the butter. Sprinkle the bottom of the dish with shallots, salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange the paupiettes, seam side down, on the dish. Scatter the mushrooms between the paupiettes, cap side down.
• Pour the wine over all. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with a round of wax paper, trimmed to fit neatly and compactly over the fish.
• Place the dish on the stove and bring the wine to the simmer.
• Place the dish in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
• Remove the dish. Using a spatula, transfer the paupiettes, one at a time, to a serving dish. Cover each paupiette with one mushroom cap, cap side up. Cover with foil and keep warm.
• Pour the cooking liquid into a skillet and bring to the boil. Cook over high heat until reduced to about one-half cup. Add any liquid that has accumulated around the covered fish fillets.
• Add the veloute and stir to blend. Add the cream and bring to the boil. Pour the sauce into a sieve, preferably of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois. Strain the sauce, pushing it through with a wooden spoon. Bring this sauce to the boil in a saucepan.
• Off heat, swirl in the remaining two tablespoons of butter. When it is melted, add the lemon juice.
• Spoon the hot sauce over the paupiettes and serve.

OVEN-POACHED PACIFIC SOLE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil or butter one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish(es) and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small or medium skillet and add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan, bring to a boil, and pour the wine and shallots over the fish. Return the skillet to the stove (make sure the heat is off) for later use. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness, until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork.
• While the fish is in the oven, whisk together the garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. You can also mash the garlic in a mortar and pestle and work in the capers, lemon juice and olive oil, though I prefer the capers chopped, even some intact, and not puréed.
• When the fish is done remove it from the oven and carefully transfer to a platter or plates. Cover and keep warm. Pour the liquid in the baking dish into the skillet and turn the heat on high. Reduce, stirring often, to about 1/4 cup - it should be thick - and stir in the garlic and caper mixture and the parsley. Whisk together, taste and adjust seasoning, pour over the fish and serve.

• Gently stir in the tomatoes; simmer, covered, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Serve, topped with the sauce.
