CHEF JOHN'S CRAB-STUFFED SOLE
There is nothing exciting about sole. It's cheap, easy to find, has a mild, unremarkable flavor, and that's about it. Which means it's the perfect candidate for jazzing up by stuffing with crab. Serve with asparagus and lemon.

STUFFED SOLE
Seafood was a staple for our large family when I was growing up. Inspired by my mother's delicious meals, I developed this recipe. The fish is moist and flavorful, and the sauce is so good over rice. You'll get compliments and recipe requests when you serve it. -Winnie Higgins, Salisbury, Maryland

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.

Steps:
- Use your food processor for this recipe. If you don't have one (really try to borrow one from a neighbor). I have not tried to do this any other way.
- Most Dover Soles have a natural crease in the middle, if yours does not, make one vertical ( so you can fold it) Left to right or right to left.
- Place Dover Soles in small Baking Dish (ungreased).
- In food processor, place shrimp, lobster tail, Crab, Onion, Parsley, 1 Tablespoon of White wine and Puree'(but not that much, you want texture, I think I Puree the ingredeints for about 1-3 seconds.
- Spoon out the mixture 3 teaspoons and place on one half of the Dover(spread evenly). and then do the same on the other Dover Sole. Fold the side that has no mixture over to the other side that has the mixture (taco shaped).
- Add 1/4 cup of White Wine and 1 tablespoon of butter to the bottom of the baking dish, so put this mixture in After you stuff the Dover Soles. The butter does not have to melted, it will melt when it cooks in the oven.
- Preheated oven of 325.
- Cook for 20-25 mins.
- In between cooking spoon White wine and butter mixture over the Dover Sole to keep it moist. When you remove the Dover Soles from the Baking Dish throw the liquid mixture away. Serve with Tartar Sauce.
