SOLE FLORENTINE AU GRATIN



Sole Florentine Au Gratin image

This is such an elegant and flavorful way to prepare fish. This is from my recipe file of "How to Win a Husband 101". A co-worker shared this recipe and warned me it would "Wow" even those that didn't like fish. I prepared this elegant dish when I was dating my husband. He was really impressed and 13 years later, he still loves this dish. The resulting preparation does not have a strong fish flavor and the combination Mornay like sauce served over a bed of spinach tastes like a restaurant quality dish. I included a shrimp sauce option at the end of the recipe.

SOLE FLORENTINE

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.

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sole fillets or 1 lb flounder fillets
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 lemons, juice of, divided
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons water
1/4 lb butter
10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and well drained

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tbls butter in a large frying pan, over medium low heat. Add the juice of one lemon.
  • Put flour on a paper plate.
  • In a separate low dish, mix the water with the beaten eggs.
  • Dust the filets with flour, then dip both sides in the beaten egg.
  • Fry gently on each side until fish laked easily.
  • Remove fish to a heated plate.
  • Add the rest of the butter and lemon juice to the frying pan.
  • Add the spinach, turning gently until just "wilted".
  • Serve spinach under each serving of fish.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh sole fillets. If you can't find fresh sole, you can use frozen fillets, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To ensure that the sole fillets cook evenly, pound them gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Don't overcook the sole fillets. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and flaky. Overcooked sole will be tough and dry.
  • To make the Florentine sauce, use fresh spinach. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess water before using.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less rich.
  • To get a golden brown crust on the sole fillets, broil them for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Sole Florentine au Gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The delicate flavor of the sole is perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy Florentine sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
