Stuffed Sole Fillets with Citrus Herb Butter
“The balance of herbs, shallots and lemon compliments the delicate
flavor of this fish dish.”
preparation time: 25 minutes
cook time: 25 minutes
yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
2 1/4 pounds sole fillets (12 small)
8 ounces Citrus Herb Gourmet butter
1-10 ounce package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed out to room temperature)
½ cup heavy cream
2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons warm water
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place 2 ounces of the Citrus Herb butter to a large sized skillet over medium heat.
- Place spinach in a colander and squeeze out all of the excess water using the back of a large spoon.
- Place the spinach into the skillet along with the heavy cream. Stir to combine these ingredients.
- Bring this to a slow boil over medium high heat.
- Combine the cornstarch and water into a separate small bowl.
- Add this to the skillet stirring rapidly until the spinach mixture starts to thicken up.
- Turn the heat down to low and stir in the parmesan cheese and black pepper. Let this cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, set aside to cool down to room temperature. (We recommend preparing the stuffing a day in advance. It is easier to work with when it is cold.)
- Lay out the sole filets onto a working surface.
- Place 2 ounces of the stuffing onto the widest part of each sole filet.
- Roll each fillet up into a log shaped portion.
- Place each portion seam-side down onto a baking sheet greased with butter. You should have enough stuffing for 12 portions.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through.
- Place the other 6 ounces of Citrus Herb butter into a small saucepan. Melt the butter over low heat until warm.
- Place the sole portions onto serving plates and spoon additional warm Citrus Herb butter over each serving.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh dill sprigs if desired.
