Sole Recipes
This must be one of the simplest sole recipes you could find.
Dover sole is a fish that is best when it's two or three days old - the only exception to fresh is best.
I'm not quite sure why this should be - meat is better when it's 'hung' for about 21 days, but you normally say that fish is best when eaten as fresh as possible.
The flavor of Dover Sole intensifies after 2 or 3 days - so buy it to cook for the next day.
Trim the sole of the top skin, but leave the bottom skin on to retain the shape while it cooks.
Baked Dover Sole
2 oz (50g) butter
2 medium sized sole about 12 oz (350g) each
5 fl oz (125ml) white wine
2 large leeks - shredded
100g (4 oz) shrimps
pinch cayenne pepper
chopped fresh parsley
Heat the oven to 220c Gas 7.
Butter a roasting dish so that you can lay the dover sole side by side.
Pour the wine over the fish and dot any remaining butter over the top. Season with a twist or two of black pepper.
Bake for about 20 minutes - the fish should just come away from the bone.
Remove and keep warm.
While the fish is cooking, saute the leeks in butter until soft and transparent.
When you have removed the fish from the roasting tin, add the leeks to the cooking juices and then stir in the shrimp and cayenne pepper.
Heat until the shrimp are warmed through.
Stir in the parsley and then serve the dover sole with the leeks over and some buttered new potatoes - the fillets should simply lift away from the bone.
This is the simplest of sole recipes - you could substitute any flat fish here - try plaice, lemon sole, dabs - anything really.
