Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 fillets of lemon sole
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 1/2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Using a paper towel, dry the sole fillets very well. Season the fish evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. When the butter is fully melted and the bubbles have subsided, dredge both sides of 2 fillets in the flour. Shake off the excess flour and add the fish to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high. Cook the fillets until beginning to brown around the edges on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the fish gently and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove the fillets to a plate and continue with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and fish.
  • When all 4 fillets are cooked and out of the skillet, add the capers and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and stir, scraping up the bits from the bottom. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Finish the sauce by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, chili paste and oregano. Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

50g butter , softened
1 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves
50g/2oz crab , half white meat, half brown
1 lemon , zested, then cut into thin slices
1 large whole lemon sole or 2 small ones, descaled and gutted (ask your fishmonger to do this), washed and dried
50ml white wine
1 tbsp caper , drained and rinsed
2 tbsp double cream

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:

  • Use the freshest sole fillets you can find. Fresh sole should have a mild, slightly briny smell and be firm to the touch.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can use lime juice instead. Just be sure to use a little less, as lime juice is more acidic than lemon juice.
  • To make sure the sauce is nice and creamy, use unsalted butter. Salted butter can make the sauce too salty.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth instead. Just be sure to use a good quality broth, as it will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
  • Serve the sole immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is moist and flaky.

Conclusion:

Sole with lemon butter sauce is a classic dish that is both simple to make and delicious. The mild flavor of the sole is perfectly complemented by the bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon butter sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
