Supreme Sole

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Fillet of sole is poached then served with a creamy sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds sole fillets, or use grouper or flounder
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 slice lemon
  • 1 slice onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup reserved fish poaching liquid
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • salt and pepper

Preparation:

In a large skillet put 2 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, onion slice, parsley, bay leaf and pepper. Bring to a boil; add fish and boil gently for 4 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Time varies with thickness and type of fish, so be sure not to overcook. Place fish in a broiler pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large saucepan melt butter over medium low heat; blend in flour. Gradually add reserved fish liquid and milk, stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook until thickened. Add wine; bring to the boiling point. Pour 1/3 of hot sauce over beaten egg in a large bowl then return to sauce and heat until hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste; pour over fish. Brown under broiler; serve immediately.
Serves 4.
