"Fresh Fish" is the key to this recipe. To me there is nothing more offensive than the smell of fish that is "not fresh". Sole works great and is reasonable in price but any white fish would work in this recipe. Read more Adjust cooking time according to the thickness of the fillet. From Food and Wine Magazine. See less
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 2 pounds sole fillets, cut to make 4 pieces shopping list
- 3/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper shopping list
- 1/4 cup flour shopping list
- 3/4 cup heavy cream shopping list
- Grated zest of 1/2 lemon shopping list
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley shopping list
How to make it
- In a large nonstick frying pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Sprinkle the sole with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Dust the sole with the flour and shake off any excess. Put the sole in the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 2 minutes longer. Remove the sole from the pan.
- Add the cream and lemon zest to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the lemon juice, and parsley. Serve the sauce over the fish.
- Fish Alternatives: Other members of the flounder family, such as sand dab or fluke, will go well with the sauce, as will such mild fish fillets as trout, hake, or whiting.
- Wine Recommendation: A ripe, full-flavored chardonnay with oak overtones will be well suited to the richness of this creamy dish. Try a bottle from California or Australia.
