SOLE PAUPIETTE WITH CRAB AND SMOKED SALMON MOUSSELINE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the crab, salmon, shallots, garlic, chives and carrots. Once they are combined, slowly add the eggs and cream. Puree for 20 to 30 seconds, then remove from the processor and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Roll the sole fillet starting at the tail end to create a 'roulade' and either pipe the mouselline with a pastry bag, or stuff it with a spoon. Season the sole with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place it in a baking dish or a saute pan. Pour white wine in the dish and place it in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the internal temperature is about 120 degrees. Remove from the oven and serve with Dill Beurre Blanc.
- In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except, dill fronds, 1/2 cup of wine, cream and butter. Bring them to a simmer and reduce by a 1/3. Slowly add the cream and reduce by 1/2. Strain the liquid through a fine strainer and into a small sauce pot. With a whisk, slowly add the cubed butter into the sauce over a low heat to incorporate the butter into the sauce. (if the sauce begins to thicken too much, add a small amount of wine to re-hydrate). Whisk all the butter into the sauce and adjust for seasoning. Add the reserved dill fronds.

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.

SOLE STUFFED WITH SPINACH
This is really good. You can double the stuffing recipe and keep in the freezer ready. It is very easy and tastes like you spent a lot of time on it. This is now my favorite fish recipe, I usually make enough for 8 pieces of fish and cook 4, the rest of the stuffing stays in the freezer for another meal. You could also use this for other fish and chicken. Prep time given does not include 2 hours of freezing.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the right fish: Sole is a delicate fish, so it's important to choose fillets that are fresh and firm. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or off odor.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish: Sole fillets are very thin, so they can easily overcook. Cook them just until they are opaque and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Make sure the stuffing is well-seasoned: The stuffing is what really makes this dish special, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and vegetables to create a stuffing that's both delicious and complementary to the fish.
- Serve the paupiettes immediately: Paupiettes are best served immediately after they are cooked, while the fish is still hot and flaky and the stuffing is still moist.
Conclusion:
Paupiettes of sole with spinach and mushroom stuffing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The delicate sole fillets are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of spinach, mushrooms, and herbs, then rolled up and baked until golden brown. Serve the paupiettes with a simple lemon butter sauce or your favorite tartar sauce for a truly memorable meal.
