If you've ever shopped at Costco's meat and fish section, you can't miss the giant packets of fresh fish fillets. I caved into temptation and bought two: one wild-caught salmon and one fillet of sole. Fortunately for me, I found a quick and easy sole recipe in a cookbook that one of my mother-in-laws bought me last Christmas. This literally took 10 minutes to make. The fillets were small, so I'd say this serves 3 if you use 8 fillets instead of 8. I also didn't have any lemons handy and used fresh thyme from our garden instead.
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 8 sole fillets
- 16 very thin lemon slice (from 1-2 lemons), seeds removed
- juice of 1 lemon (3 tbsp)
- 3 tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces
Place the wine in a large, lidded skillet. Fold each sole fillet into thirds. Arrange in the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Lay 2 overlapping lemon slices on each piece of fish.
Bring the wine to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer gently until the fish is opaque throughout, 3-5 minutes. With a spatula, transfer the fish to serving plates.
Return the liquid in the skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup. Add the lemon juice; remove from heat. Whisk in the butter until smooth. Season with salt; strain if desired.
