Sole Stuffed With Spinach Recipes

SPINACH STUFFED BAKED SOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray the bottom of a 9 by 9 casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Lay the fillets out onto a clean work surface. Evenly divide the spinach and artichoke dip, about 2 tablespoons for each fillet, and spread it over the length of the fillets. Roll each fillet up and place rolled-side down in the prepared casserole dish. Place the lemon wedges down the center of the casserole dish between the rolls and drizzle each with the lemon juice. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with Artichoke Ratatouille on the side.
• In a high-sided skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant, vegetable stir-fry blend, artichokes hearts, garlic, red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are almost completely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, cover and simmer on low until the eggplant is soft and the ratatouille is thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the basil. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

PAUPIETTES OF SOLE WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Pick over the spinach. Remove and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse and drain the spinach well. There should be about 8 cups loosely packed. Set aside.
• Heat the butter in a skillet and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Continue cooking until all the moisture evaporates.
• Scrape the mixture into a bowl and add the egg yolk. Let stand until cool.
• Place the fillets of fish on a flat surface, skinned side up. Spoon an equal portion of the spinach and mushroom mixture onto the center of each fillet. Roll the fillets jellyroll style to enclose the filling.
• Bring a quantity of water to the boil in the bottom of a steamer. Arrange the rolled fillets, seam side down, on a steamer rack. Set the rack over the steamer bottom. Steam five minutes. Serve hot with a ginger butter sauce (see recipe).

PAN-BAKED LEMON SOLE WITH SPINACH, OLIVES, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Cook garlic in 2 tablespoons oil in a 2-quart flameproof gratin dish over moderate heat (on stovetop), stirring until softened (but with no change in color), 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, breaking them up with a spoon, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add sea salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
• Prepare fish while sauce simmers:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pulse olives, basil, and anchovy to a coarse paste in a food processor (or finely chop with a knife). Add 2 tablespoons oil and pulse to combine.
• Lay fish fillets, skinned sides down, on a work surface and season with pepper. Divide olive paste among fillets and spread evenly. Beginning at narrow end, roll up each fillet.
• Bake fish:
• Arrange fish rolls, seam sides down, on tomato sauce in gratin dish. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil and bake, uncovered, in middle of oven, until fish is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer fish to 4 heated plates. Heat tomato sauce in gratin dish over moderate heat (on stovetop), then add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce with spinach alongside fish.

Remove cover, add shrimp and saute for a couple of minutes just until shrimp turn pink and are firm to the touch. Remove mixture to a food processor and blend with heavy cream, lemon juice, tarragon and breadcrumbs until mixture is pureed. Season with salt and pepper. Place some stuffing on one half of each sole filet. Fold other half over the stuffing and transfer the filet to a baking dish.
