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 FILLETS WITH CRAB AND GRAPES
Steps:
- In medium bowl combine crabmeat, celery, green onions, bell pepper, grapes, mayonnaise, "Old Bay" seasoning and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Stir until combined. Place sole fillets on cutting board. Divide stuffing between fillets and form stuffing into 1/2 inch thick patties in the center of each fillet. Fold fillet around stuffing, so that the ends of the fillet just meet. You should have a bundle that looks like a fish-wrapped crab cake. Dredge each bundle in remaining breadcrumbs and pat lightly to adhere crumbs. In non-stick frying pan heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Place fillets in pan and cover. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Top with Lemon-Grape Butter Sauce.
- To prepare sauce: In small saucepan combine chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, grapes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook 2 minutes to reduce slightly. In small bowl combine flour and water and stir until smooth. Stir into sauce over heat and whisk until smooth and thickened. Turn off heat, add butter and whisk again until smooth.

SOLE WITH SAVORY BREAD CRUMB TOPPING AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS
My mom often served a version of this dish when I was a kid, and it was one of my favorites. I guess it makes sense that it has become one of my go-to fast and easy dinners too. It's a weeknight trifecta-simple, tasty, and family friendly. All you need to do is sprinkle seasoned buttered bread crumbs onto a white, flaky fish fillet, and in less than 10 minutes the fish is done and the bread crumbs are crisped. I made it healthier by using freshly made whole-grain bread crumbs (which are a cinch to make) and adding some olive oil to the mix to keep the butter minimal. Roasting asparagus right alongside makes it a real two-for-one. Enjoy with some whole-grain rice, quinoa, or orzo.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim the asparagus spears, then place them in a baking dish. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Roast until they are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the spears.
- Meanwhile, place the garlic in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Cut off and discard the crusts from the bread, then add the bread to the processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and the butter together in a medium skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, finely zest the lemon until you get about 1 teaspoon of zest.
- Add the garlic and bread crumbs to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the crumbs are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Arrange the fish fillets on an aluminum foil- or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Squeeze the juice of half of the lemon over the fish, then press the bread crumb mixture on top. Bake until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes. While the fish is cooking, chop the parsley.
- To serve, arrange the fish on serving plates with the asparagus alongside. Sprinkle with the juice from the remaining lemon half and the parsley before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with the tarragon, crabmeat and zest, and season. Make a few deep slashes across the fillets on both sides of the sole, then place the fish, dark-skin up, in a large roasting tin. Season, then stuff the crab butter into the cuts, spreading any remaining butter on top. Lay a few lemon slices over the fish, then pour over the wine.
- Bake for 15-20 mins, depending on the size of the fish - the flesh should flake away easily from the bone when gently pushed with a knife.
- Carefully remove the fish from the tin, place on a warm plate or platter and cover with foil while you make the sauce. Set the tin over a low heat, add 2 tbsp water and bring to the boil. Let the sauce bubble for a few mins, then stir in the capers and cream. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve with steamed potatoes and a green salad.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When possible, buy organic and/or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Sole: Sole is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Make Sure the Crabmeat is Fresh: Fresh crabmeat has a sweet and delicate flavor. Avoid using frozen or canned crabmeat, as it will not taste as good.
- Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine that you use in the sauce should be of good quality. A dry Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio works well.
- Season the Dish to Taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
