STEAMED GINGER SOLE WITH LEMON SOY SAUCE



Steamed Ginger Sole with Lemon Soy Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 bunches scallions, whites and greens separated, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
4 (6-ounce) sole or other flat fish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Napa cabbage leaves
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on the bias
8 shiitake mushroom, stems trimmed and discarded

Steps:

  • Whisk the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and the sesame oil together in a small bowl. Add the scallion whites to the sauce.
  • Mix the scallion greens with the ginger in another small bowl.
  • Lay the sole fillets on the work surface, skin-side up (look for the side with the herring bone pattern). Cut the fillets lengthwise along the natural seam that runs down the center of each piece. Lightly season the skin-side of the fish with salt and pepper. Then scatter the scallions and ginger on top. Starting from the narrow tail end, roll up each piece of fish into a tight spiral with the scallion on the inside. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
  • Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lay the Napa leaves in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Stand the fish rolls on the Napa, and scatter the shiitake mushrooms and sliced carrot around. Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook the fish until it is barely cooked through, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the fish covered to finish cooking in the residual heat of the steamer, about 5 minutes more.
  • Divide the Napa, sole, shiitakes, and carrots among 4 plates and drizzle with the sauce. Serve.

BREADED FILLETS OF SOLE



Breaded Fillets of Sole image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 small fillets of sole, flounder or fluke, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1/2 cup flour
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Put the fillets on a flat surface. There may be a small bone line running partly down the center of each fillet. If so, cut on both sides and discard it.
  • Beat the egg, salt, pepper, water and one tablespoon of oil in a flat dish.
  • Put the flour in a flat dish and toss the fillets in it. Shake off excess.
  • Put bread crumbs in a flat dish.
  • Dip the floured fillets, one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat well. Dip them on both sides in the bread crumbs and pat lightly to make the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet and add enough breaded fillets to make one layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, about one and one-half to two minutes. Turn and cook about one and one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish. It may be necessary to add more oil if it disappears. As the fillets are cooked transfer them to a warm serving platter. Continue cooking until all the fillets are done.
  • Pour off the oil from the skillet and wipe it out with paper towels.
  • Put the butter in the skillet and swirl it around over high heat until it starts to foam. Continue cooking until it starts to become hazelnut brown. Pour this over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and serve.
