Baked Sole With Mint And Ginger Recipes

STEAMED GINGER SOLE WITH LEMON SOY SAUCE

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.

SUNNY'S EASY BAKED LEMON SOLE AND SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the butter: Meanwhile, whisk together the butter, lemon zest and juice, capers, garlic and salt in a medium bowl.
• For the sheet: Slice the spring onions in half lengthwise. If using scallions, they can be left whole.
• Make sure you have all of your ingredients ready to go so you can assemble the sheet and return it to the oven quickly. Remove the sheet from the oven once the oven is preheated. Quickly add the fish in a row, leaving about an inch between each piece. Drizzle the butter mixture over the top, add the lemon slices over the fish, then the spring onions. Sprinkle with paprika. Return the sheet to the oven and bake until cooked through, 12 to 18 minutes. Serve warm, preferably with garlicky mashed potatoes!

BAKED SOLE WITH A LEMON GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Spray a medium baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Rinse fish with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roll up fish and place seam side down in baking pan. Bake at 425 for 15 - 20 minutes, until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
• While fish is cooking, prepare sauce. Combine lemon juice, broth, sugar, ginger, cornstarch, lemon zest and garlic in a small saucepan. (this can be done in advance) Cook over medium high heat until mixture is bubbly and has thickened.
• Arrange fillets over serving plates and drizzle with sauce.

BAKED SOLE WITH MINT AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Rinse the fish and pat it dry. Arrange the fillets on a rimmed baking pan. The fillets can overlap as long as no area gets more than two fillets deep. Whirl mint, ginger, oil, salt, and pepper in a blender until a smooth paste forms - you may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to make this happens, but do so sparingly. Rub the mint-ginger paste evenly over the fish. Bake until the fish is opaque and it flakes easily in the center, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
