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.

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.

SOLE STUFFED WITH SPINACH



Sole Stuffed With Spinach image

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:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
  • Squeeze the spinach well: Before adding the spinach to the filling, be sure to squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This will help prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in the filling. Some good options include Parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta, and feta.
  • Don't overcook the sole: Sole is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Bake the fish for just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve the sole immediately: Sole is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can bake it and then reheat it gently in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Spinach-stuffed baked sole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flaky fish, creamy filling, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
