Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
8 (3 to 4-ounce) fillets of sole
1 (8-ounce) package frozen spinach and artichoke dip, thawed (recommended: TGI Friday's)
1 lemon, 1/2 cut into wedges and 1/2 juiced
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Artichoke Ratatouille, for serving, recipe follows
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small eggplant, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen stir-fry vegetables, thawed (recommended: Birds Eye)
1(9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray the bottom of a 9 by 9 casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Lay the fillets out onto a clean work surface. Evenly divide the spinach and artichoke dip, about 2 tablespoons for each fillet, and spread it over the length of the fillets. Roll each fillet up and place rolled-side down in the prepared casserole dish. Place the lemon wedges down the center of the casserole dish between the rolls and drizzle each with the lemon juice. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with Artichoke Ratatouille on the side.
  • In a high-sided skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant, vegetable stir-fry blend, artichokes hearts, garlic, red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are almost completely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, cover and simmer on low until the eggplant is soft and the ratatouille is thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the basil. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, main course

4 skinless, boneless fillets of sole (or use any nonoily white-fleshed fish such as fluke or flounder), about 1/4 pound each
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 pound fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 egg yolk
Ginger butter sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper and set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest sole fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Pat the sole fillets dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Season the sole fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the sole fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the sole fillets immediately. Sole is a delicate fish that is best served fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Sole fillets with spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The sole fillets are cooked to perfection and the spinach is a flavorful and nutritious side dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
