Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 fillets Dover Sole, about 4 ounces each
1/2 pound lump crabmeat
1 egg
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
2 scalions, sliced very thinly (white and some green)
2 Tablespoons good quality mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tone's brand PERC Garden Seasoning
2 or 3 dashes white worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Thinly sliced chives, with a chive blossom or two if available, for garnishing
3 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 drops Tabasco
1/2 cup butter, melted and hot

Steps:

  • Make sure you have smooth Dover sole fillets with no tears. Pat dry with paper towels. Combine crabmeat, egg, dried bread crumbs or cracker crumbs, scallions, mayonnaise, salt, white pepper, PERC, Worcestershire and lemon zest. Be gentle with the crabmeat so as to not break it up any more than necessary to combine. Divide into fourths and spread on the Dover sole fillets; roll fillets gently and put in prepared baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until fish flakes. Hollandaise: In blender, mix all ingredients except butter, Slowly pour in butter while mixing on low speed. Pour a small amount of Hollandaise on plate; place rolled and stuffed Dover sole fillet on the Hollandaise. Pour a small amount of Hollandaise over the sole, and garnish with chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Dover sole is the ideal choice for this recipe due to its delicate flavor and firm texture. If you can't find Dover sole, you can substitute another flat fish, such as flounder or sole.
  • Prepare the fish properly: Make sure to clean and gut the fish before cooking. You can also remove the head and tail if you prefer.
  • Stuff the fish carefully: Don't overstuff the fish, or it will be difficult to cook evenly. Use a light touch when stuffing the fish, and make sure that the stuffing is evenly distributed.
  • Cook the fish thoroughly: The fish should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of the fish, this could take anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Dover sole is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish the fish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving.

Stuffed Dover sole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its delicate flavor and firm texture, Dover sole is the ideal fish for this recipe. The stuffing adds a delicious and flavorful touch to the fish, and the overall dish is sure to impress your guests.
