Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 fillets of lemon sole
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 1/2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Using a paper towel, dry the sole fillets very well. Season the fish evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. When the butter is fully melted and the bubbles have subsided, dredge both sides of 2 fillets in the flour. Shake off the excess flour and add the fish to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high. Cook the fillets until beginning to brown around the edges on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the fish gently and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove the fillets to a plate and continue with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and fish.
  • When all 4 fillets are cooked and out of the skillet, add the capers and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and stir, scraping up the bits from the bottom. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Finish the sauce by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, chili paste and oregano. Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

OVEN-POACHED PACIFIC SOLE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE



Oven-Poached Pacific Sole With Lemon Caper Sauce image

A fish piccata of sorts, this dish is easy to make and the lemon-caper sauce marries well with delicate varieties like sole, fluke or flounder, as well as more robust fish like swordfish. Start by laying fish fillets out in a baking dish and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Finely chop some shallots and briefly cook them in a skillet before adding wine. Pour the wine and shallots over the fish, cover with foil and bake until opaque and the fish pulls apart easily when gently probed with a fork. Meanwhile, whisk together garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. When the fish emerges from the oven, pour the liquid from the dish back into the skillet to make a pan sauce. Reduce it to about 1/4 cup - thicker than you may imagine - stirring all the while. Add the garlic-caper mixture and some chopped parsley, whisk together and serve on top of the fillets, the mild flesh of the fish bathing in the bright, brawny flavors of the sauce.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds Pacific sole or flounder fillets
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 cup dry white wine (you can also use rosé; the sauce will have a pink hue)
1 plump garlic clove, minced or puréed (more to taste)
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

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.

FILLET OF FISH WITH LEEK SAUCE



Fillet of Fish With Leek Sauce image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless fillets of scrod, about 1 1/4 pounds (see note)
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 leeks, about 1 1/2 pounds
9 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup fish broth or bottled clam juice
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or parsley
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Sprinkle fish on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Trim off root ends of leeks. Cut each leek crosswise in half. Put upper green portion to another use, such as soup, or discard.
  • Slice white part of leek lengthwise and rinse thoroughly between the leaves. Cut into thin strips, then into very thin cubes. There should be about 3 1/2 cups.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add leeks. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes and add wine and fish broth or clam juice. Cover closely and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until most of the liquid evaporates. Swirl in 6 tablespoons of butter and the chives or parsley. Add salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy skillet and add fish fillets. Cook about 2 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Cook about 1 minute on second side. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillets. This may have to be done in two batches.
  • Spoon equal batches of the leek mixture into centers of four warmed plates. Cover each portion with one cooked fillet. Spoon 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over each fillet and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshest fish, purchase fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Soak the fillets in milk for 10-15 minutes before cooking to help reduce their fishy odor and make them more tender.
  • Pat the fillets dry before cooking to prevent them from steaming rather than searing.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or pan to prevent the fillets from sticking.
  • Cook the fillets over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Do not overcook the fillets, as they will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Fillet of sole with leek sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The delicate flavor of the sole is perfectly complemented by the creamy, flavorful leek sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
