Tomato And Herb Crusted Fillet Of Sole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat 2 medium non-stick skillets over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay the fillets on a piece of wax paper, parchment, or a baking sheet and blot dry with paper towels. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. (If the fillets tapers down to a very thin tail, fold the tail back to make a more uniformly thick fillet.) Put the flour on a plate. Dredge the rounded-sides of the fillets in the flour and shake off any excess.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of butter to each skillet. When the butter stops foaming, add 2 fillets to each pan, rounded-side down, and cook, lightly shaking the skillets occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, flip the fillets with a spatula, and let the fillets finish cooking in the residual heat in the pans, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the fillets to 4 warm plates and cover loosely with foil.
• Add the lemon juice and water to one of the skillets. While moving the skillet in a circular motion, add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, little by little, until melted and a smooth, creamy sauce is formed. Stir in the parsley and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon some of the sauce over each fillet and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat the sole dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof saute pan, brown the sole in 1 tablespoon olive oil on one side, then remove from the pan and set aside. Add the oregano, red pepper flakes and garlic to the pan and saute 1 minute. Next, add the potatoes and chopped tomatoes (with their juices) and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Pour half of the lemon juice into the pan, add the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and then add the fish back to the pan and baste with the sauce. Finish cooking in the oven, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the pan and place on a platter. Return the pan to the stove and add the remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil along with the chopped basil and remaining lemon juice. Let the sauce reduce over medium heat, 2 minutes. Serve the fish with the sauce and garnish with chopped basil.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons cheese, mustard seed and pepper; spread over tops of fillets. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4 in. from the heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3-5 minutes., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, onion, ground mustard and remaining cheese; stir in butter. Spoon over fillets; spritz topping with cooking spray. Broil until golden brown, 1-2 minutes longer. Sprinkle with green onions if desired.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Peel the tomatoes and cut them in half crosswise. Squeeze gently to remove the seeds. Cut each tomato half into thin, half-inch slices. Set aside.
• Beat together the egg and melted butter. Pour the mixture into a flat dish.
• Put the bread crumbs in a flat dish.
• Dip the fillets, one at a time, into the egg mixture to coat well.
• As the fillets are coated with egg, dip them in the bread crumbs to coat well. Tap the the fillets with the side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs adhere.
• Heat the oil in a skillet, preferably Teflon-coated, until it is very hot and almost smoking. Add two fish fillets and cook 1 1/2 minutes on one side, then turn and cook the same amount on the other. Transfer the fillets to a warm serving dish.
• Cook the second pair of fillets and transfer them to the dish.
• Heat the two tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add the shallots, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and shaking the skillet, about two minutes. Add the vinegar and toss.
• Spoon equal portions of the tomato sauce over each fillet. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
