Sole Judic Baked Sole Wrapped In Lettuce Recipes

STUFFED SOLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, green onion, garlic, and wine. Set aside.
• Lay filets flat, and divide shrimp evenly among them in a band across one end of each fillet. Roll up around shrimp, and secure with toothpick. Place in a baking dish. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour lemon juice mixture over the fish. Cover.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes.
• When fillets are nearly done, prepare sauce. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour. Transfer fish to serving platter ,and keep warm. Pour pan juices into butter/flour mixture; cook and stir until thickened. Pour over sole, and serve.

BAKED STUFFED LEMON SOLE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the scallops, shrimp and seafood seasoning and cook, stirring, until the seafood is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add the cracker crumbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The stuffing can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Leftover stuffing can be frozen. Bring to room temperature or take the chill off in the microwave before stuffing the fish.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush a large glass baking dish generously with melted butter.
• Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange 4 of the fillets in the baking dish. Cover with stuffing, pressing it in to make an even layer, and top with the remaining fillets. If some of the seafood stuffing spills out into the dish, that's fine. Brush the fish with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque in its thickest part and the stuffing is heated through, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.

SOLE JUDIC (BAKED SOLE WRAPPED IN LETTUCE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Remove the lettuce leaves from the core and drop them into a large quantity of boiling water. Let simmer about two minutes, drain in a colander and let cold water run over the leaves until they are thoroughly chilled. Drain well.
• Open up the leaves on a flat surface.
• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper. Fold the fillets into thirds to make flat packets. Place each packet on an opened lettuce leaf. Cover with a second lettuce leaf and fold the edges of the leaves up and over to enclose the fish.
• Rub a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer with two tablespoons of the butter. Sprinkle the bottom with shallots. Arrange the lettuce-wrapped packages in the dish and pour in the wine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring the wine to a boil on top of the stove.
• Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
• Pour the liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook down over high heat to about one-third cup. Add the cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile transfer the packages to a serving dish and keep warm. As liquid accumulates around the packages, pour it into the sauce. Cook the sauce over high heat, stirring often, until reduced to slightly less than one cup. Swirl in the remaining three tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice. Heat briefly and pour the sauce over the fish packages. If desired, strain the sauce before reheating and pouring over the fish packages.
