Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 1 cup broccoli fresh
• 2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/3 cup shallot minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 sole fillets
• 3 Tablespoons bread crumbs
• Mushroom sauce
• 2 cup mushrooms sliced
• 4 Tablespoons butter or margarine divided
• 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups full fat milk or rice milk
• 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• Pepper to taste
• Dash of grated nutmeg optional
• 1/2 teaspoon chicken consommé powder

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 F.
• Cook broccoli in a medium pot of salted boiling water until tender, about 5-10 minutes. Once cool, process in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium pan and sauté the shallot moderate heat for 2 minutes. Add the cooked broccoli and season to taste. Off the heat and reserve mixture.
• Season sole fillets with salt and pepper and place them dark side up. Fill with about 2-3 tablespoons of the broccoli and onion mixture and roll up.
• Place in a buttered Pyrex or another oven-to-table dish with the seam-side down. Pour mushroom sauce (see directions below ) on the fish fillets and sprinkle with seasoned breadcrumbs. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• To make the sauce, sauté mushrooms in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until golden. Reserve.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a separate saucepan with medium heat, add the flour and cook for a minute or two, stirring with a wooden spoon all the while. Off the heat, and add the milk or rice milk and keep mixing until well incorporated. Return to the heat and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms, and add the 1/2 teaspoon chicken consommé powder and dash of nutmeg. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Notes

A savory mushroom filling can be made a day ahead, and can be served with the fish or on its own. If you are serving a large group, divide the filling into eight equal portions. If you are serving a small crowd, you can stuff sole fillets individually with some of the remaining stuffing, and bake them for 25 to 30 minutes. To prepare the spinach souffles, crumble breton crackers and place them in a shallow bowl.

Ingredients:

• 4 sole fillets
• 1/2 cup lump crab meat

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 lemon, zest and juice

Tips for making Stuffed Sole

Cooking Tips

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Overcooking the sole: Overcooking can lead to dry and tough fish. Pay close attention to the baking time to avoid this.
• Using too much stuffing: While a generous filling is delicious, be mindful not to overstuff the sole, making it difficult to roll and cook evenly.
• Skipping the toothpicks: If you don’t secure the rolled sole with toothpicks, the filling may spill out during baking.
• Neglecting seasoning: Don’t forget to season both the fish and the stuffing with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.

Tips for Success:

• Freshness matters: Ensure you’re using fresh seafood for the best taste and texture in your stuffed sole.
• Gentle rolling: When rolling the sole with the stuffing, do it gently to prevent tearing.
• Even placement: Lay the stuffed sole seam-side down in the baking dish for a neat presentation.
• Testing for doneness: The fish should flake easily with a fork when it’s done. Use a meat thermometer to check if the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Serving Suggestions

Recommend Sides and Beverages:

• Serve your baked stuffed sole with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or lemon herb rice for a complete meal.
• A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with the seafood flavors. Alternatively, offer a sparkling water with a twist of lemon for a refreshing non-alcoholic option.
• A fresh green salad with a citrus vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish.
• Consider sautéed asparagus, steamed broccoli, or a medley of roasted vegetables as additional side options.

Ways to Serve:

• Place each stuffed sole fillet on a plate, drizzle with extra lemon juice, and garnish with fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.
• For a family-style meal, arrange the stuffed sole on a platter, surround it with your chosen sides, and let everyone serve themselves.
• If you prefer individual servings, plate the stuffed sole atop a bed of mashed potatoes or rice and spoon a bit of the pan juices over the top.
• Consider doubling the recipe and serving it at your next dinner party, impressing your guests with this gourmet dish.
• Leftover stuffed sole can be transformed into a seafood pasta dish by flaking the fish and mixing it with cooked pasta and a creamy Alfredo sauce.

FAQs about Stuffed Sole

• Can I prepare the stuffing in advance and refrigerate it? Yes, you can prepare the stuffing a few hours in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to assemble and bake the stuffed sole.
• Can I use other seafood in the stuffing besides crab and shrimp? Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with your seafood choices. Scallops, lobster, or even diced white fish can be excellent additions or substitutes.
• Can I freeze leftover stuffed sole? While it’s possible to freeze leftover stuffed sole, the texture may change slightly upon thawing. If you choose to freeze it, wrap the stuffed sole tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in an airtight container. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
• What should I do if my stuffed sole is getting too brown on top during baking? If you notice the top browning too quickly, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time to prevent excessive browning while ensuring the fish cooks through.
• How can I reheat leftover stuffed sole? To reheat leftover stuffed sole, place it in a baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil, and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
