CHEF JOHN'S CRAB-STUFFED SOLE



Chef John's Crab-Stuffed Sole image

There is nothing exciting about sole. It's cheap, easy to find, has a mild, unremarkable flavor, and that's about it. Which means it's the perfect candidate for jazzing up by stuffing with crab. Serve with asparagus and lemon.

SOLE MEUNIèRE



Sole Meunière image

The dish that made Julia Child fall in love with French cuisine, sole meunière highlights the simple flavors of fresh fish, butter, lemon and parsley. Fish is the center of the dish, so using a quality fillet is important: A true English Dover sole is preferred. Clarified butter, which takes a few extra minutes to prepare, can take on heat without browning, making it ideal for pan-frying fish. A classic sole meunière is made with a bone-in fillet, but boneless sole is faster and easier. You'll find a recipe for clarified butter here. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, unpeeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 pound sea scallops, chopped
1/2 pound small ("salad size") peeled and deveined shrimp (if using larger shrimp, coarsely chop)
1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning blend (recommended: Old Bay)
1 3/4 cups crushed cracker crumbs (about 1 1/4 sleeves of crackers) (recommended: Ritz)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 thin lemon sole or other white fish fillets, such as haddock (about 2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the scallops, shrimp and seafood seasoning and cook, stirring, until the seafood is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the cracker crumbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The stuffing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Leftover stuffing can be frozen. Bring to room temperature or take the chill off in the microwave before stuffing the fish.)
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush a large glass baking dish generously with melted butter.
  • Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange 4 of the fillets in the baking dish. Cover with stuffing, pressing it in to make an even layer, and top with the remaining fillets. If some of the seafood stuffing spills out into the dish, that's fine. Brush the fish with melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque in its thickest part and the stuffing is heated through, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
