Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by admin in Fish and Shellfish

This recipe is served with a delicious sauce which you can prepare easily. It’s made of shallots, white wine and butter. You can even use this sauce for other fish fillet dish that was prepared with mild flavors.

INGREDIENTS      

    * 1 1/2 pounds fresh petrale sole fillets
    * Salt, to taste
    * 2 Tbsp olive oil
    * 3 Tbsp minced shallots
    * 1/4 cup dry white wine
    * 2 Tbsp, cut into 4 pieces, cold, unsalted butter
    * Fresh thyme leaves (or any fresh herb for flavor)
    * Minced fresh chives
    * Lemon wedges (use Meyer lemons if available)

DIRECTIONS      

  • Use paper towels to pat the fillets dry. You may have to pat the fillet twice as it contains a lot of moisture. Season fillet lightly with salt evenly. 
  • In a stick-free skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets and make sure to brown both sides evenly. For sole fillets, they cook up quickly so it would be best to do each side only for a couple of minutes. When the fillets are done put them in a warm plate.
  • Cook the shallots in the same pan and sauté until soft. Pour white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape the browned bits formed at the bottom of the pan. Put in the butter and swirl gently to make a sauce. Mix in herbs and a bit of lemon juice. Pour the mixture onto the cooked fillets and serve.
  • Makes up to 4 servings.
