Fillet Of Sole With Leek Sauce Recipes

SOLE STEAMED WITH TOMATO-LEEK SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Stir in the leeks and garlic, cook and stir 3 minutes until the leeks begin to soften. Pour in the white wine, and bring to a simmer, then add the tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, and dill weed. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to half.
• Lay the sole filets on top of the vegetables, and cover the skillet. Cook until the fish is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Ladle the sauce over the sole to serve.

SOLE WITH LEMON-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place wine in a large, lidded skillet. Fold each sole fillet into thirds. Arrange in skillet; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Lay two overlapping lemon slices on each piece of fish.
• Bring wine to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer gently until fish is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. With a spatula, transfer fish to serving plates.
• Return liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Add lemon juice; remove from heat. Whisk in butter until smooth. Season with salt; strain, if desired. Serve with fish; garnish with fresh herbs and pepper, if desired.

SAUTEED FILLET OF SOLE WITH FRESH TOMATO AND GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 seconds. Drain, and pull away skins; remove cores. Cut tomatoes crosswise and into 1/4-inch cubes.
• Heat olive oil in saucepan, add shallots and garlic. Cook briefly. Do not brown. Add tomatoes, ginger, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.
• Place tomato mixture in a blender. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and blend quickly to a fine texture. Check seasoning; transfer to small saucepan and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Pour milk into a shallow bowl; put the flour on a dish. Dredge each fillet with flour, patting so flour adheres and shaking to remove excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many fillets in the pan as will fit in one layer without crowding.
• Brown fillets thoroughly on one side; turn, and brown on other side. Cooking will take about 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Do not overcook.
• Divide tomato mixture equally among four warm serving plates. Place fillets over tomatoes, and keep warm.
• While the pan is still warm, wipe it out with a paper towel and return it to medium-high heat. Add the remaining butter, and cook until hazelnut brown. Add lemon juice, and pour equally over each serving. Top with basil or parsley.

FILET OF SOLE WITH LEEK SAUCE

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe glass casserole microwave the butter at high power (100%) for 1 minute, or until it is melted.
• Stir in the leeks and salt to taste and microwave the mixture, covered with the lid, at high power (100%) for 10 minutes, or until the leek is tender.

• Arrange the fillets in the casserole and microwave them, covered with lid, at high power (100%) for 3 minutes, or until they just flake.
• While the fish is cooking, boil the leek mixture until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Transfer the fish with a slotted spatula to heated plates and keep it warm, covered with foil.
• Add the fish liquid remaining in the casserole to the leek mixture and boil the mixture until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Add the cream and boil the mixture, stirring, until the sauce is thickened slightly.
