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.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs skinless sole fillets (any firm mild white fish may be substituted such as orange roughy or flounder)
1/2 cup madeira wine or 1/2 cup dry sherry
reserved fish stock (you'll get this when fish cooks)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese

  • Rinse fish and pat dry.
  • Fold fillets in half and place then in a large, shallow baking pan.
  • Mix Madeira and lemon juice and pour over fish.
  • Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in 400°F oven for about 15- 20 minutes until fish flakes readily with a fork (baking time varies depending upon the thickness of your fillets).
  • Remove from oven and drain off all liquid into a measuring cup.
  • Add enough water to make 1 cup and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and stir in flour, chicken granules, and mustard, cook until bubbly.

  • Squeeze moisture out of spinach.
  • Arrange spinach on the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and arrange fish on top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining Swiss Cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F and reheat sauce.

This recipe is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for a special occasion. The sole is a delicate fish and the sauce is rich and flavorful.

I wasn't sure how the sole and spinach would go together, but it was a great combination. The flavors complemented each other perfectly.

I found that the sauce was a little too thick. I added a little milk to thin it out and it was perfect.
