SOLE FLORENTINE

From Real Simple Magazine October 2004. The size of fish fillets varies from market to market. A good rule of thumb for sole - and for fish in general - is to count on 6 ounces per person.

This dish is my "Copy Cat" version from a local restaurant, Corvo's, in Saranac Lake, NY. I like it better than the Florentine recipes with cream sauces.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups blanched slivered almonds
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cleaned sole fillets (6 ounces each)
1 large or 3 small shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.

Tips:

  • To ensure the sole fillets remain tender and flaky, avoid overcooking them. It's best to cook them for a short time over high heat, or until they are just opaque in the center.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh sole fillets, spinach, and mushrooms will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to add your own personal touch to the recipe. A sprinkle of paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper can add a nice kick of flavor.
  • If you're using frozen sole fillets, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the sole florentine immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Fillet of sole florentine is a classic French dish that is both elegant and delicious. It's perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. The delicate flavor of the sole is complemented perfectly by the rich, creamy sauce and the earthy flavors of the spinach and mushrooms. If you're looking for a seafood dish that is sure to impress, give fillet of sole florentine a try.
