Shrimp-Stuffed Sole image

If you like stuffed fish, this recipe is the way to go. It's so easy to assemble and cooks in just a few minutes in the microwave. Try it with chicken instead of sole, if you prefer, for a meal that's equally good. -Robert Bishop, Lexington, Kentucky

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.

Kosher salt, to taste

4 tablespoons clarified butter

Steps:

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound peeled, deveined shrimp, rinsed, raw
1/2 pound lobster meat, raw
1/2 pound crab meat, raw or from brine
1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup basil, roughly chopped
5 large shallots, peeled and cut in half
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons white wine
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 fillets of Dover sole to spread puree across
6 shrimp, peeled, deveined, with tail shell left on, to be rolled into center of the Sole
1 (8 by 8-inch) shallow baking dish
1/4 cup Butter, to grease pan and to coat fish before baking
5 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup dill, loosely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Puree (raw in a food processor) shrimp, lobster, and crab with parsley, basil, shallots, lemon, wine, salt and pepper to make a puree. Some texture is nice. Do not over puree. Lay fillets of sole on a flat surface and spread puree evenly across the entire length. Place a single shrimp at one end of the fillet, with the tail shell facing away from the filet and toward what will be the top of the roll. Roll fillet, secure with a toothpick, and place in greased baking dish so that the roll is on its side and the shrimp tail is facing upward.
  • Add shallot, lemon, wine, and dill to baking dish. Brush fillets lightly with remaining butter, place dish in oven, and bake 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest Dover sole fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
  • If you can't find Dover sole, you can substitute another firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, cod, or tilapia.
  • Make sure the shrimp is deveined and peeled before cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the fish. This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the fish. If you do, the fish will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the fish until it is cooked through but still flaky. Overcooked fish is tough and dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately with the shrimp sauce.

Conclusion:

Sole with shrimp sauce is a classic French dish that is both delicious and elegant. It is perfect for a special occasion dinner or a romantic meal for two. The delicate flavor of the sole is perfectly complemented by the rich and flavorful shrimp sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
