Solefrancaise Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Heat olive oil and butter in non stick skillet over medium high heat.
• Dredge sole in flour.
• Mix eggs, parmesan and salt.
• Dip floured sole into egg batter and place in hot pan.
• Cook sole in batches being careful not to crowd in pan.
• Cook until nicely browned (1 1/2 minutes per side).
• Remove to oven safe platter and keep warm in oven.
• Repeat adding more oil and butter to pan as needed until all are cooked.
• When done, add lemon juice, garlic, marsala and corn starch to pan stirring until thickened.
• Place sauce over sole and cut up lemon and sprinkle over sole.

Steps:

• Dust the fish with the flour.
• Dip the fish in the egg.
• Saute in the oil until golden on each side; drain excess oil.
• Add butter, white wine, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer uncovered until liquid is reduced to half, about 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
• (I use MUCH more lemon in my sauce because I love lemon, so if you like it- add more!).

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta. Salt the boiling water, add the pasta, and cook it to al dente; it should still have a bite to it. Heads up: you will need to use a ladleful of the starchy cooking liquid for the sauce before you drain the pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, rinse and pat the fish dry, then season with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs with the half-and-half or milk. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. When the butter has melted and is hot, dip the fillets in the egg mixture, then transfer them to the skillet. Cook the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until deeply golden brown.
• While the fish cooks, zest the lemons. Heat the EVOO in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add the lemon zest and garlic to the EVOO. Sweat the garlic for 2 minutes, then add the wine and reduce for 30 seconds. Add a ladle of the starchy pasta water and the juice of 1 of the lemons and reduce for 30 seconds more. Turn off the heat.
• When the fish is done, transfer it to serving plates and add the juice of the remaining lemon to the pan. Turn the heat off. Let the lemon juice combine with the pan juices, then spoon the juices over the fish.
• Drain the pasta well and add to the garlic-lemon-wine sauce. Add the basil and toss the pasta for 1 minute to absorb the flavors. Season the pasta with salt and pepper. Serve the pasta alongside the fish garnished with cubes of plum tomato.
