Stuffed Sole
SERVES 4
Mt. Kisco Seafood, a retail market in Mount Kisco, New York, prepared these sole for its customers to cook at home.
3 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 small green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded,
and finely chopped
1/4 cup white wine
6 button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed,
and finely chopped
8 oz. fresh lump crabmeat, picked over
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 8-oz. filets skinless sole
Pinch sweet paprika
1. Preheat oven to 375º. Melt 3 tbsp. of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers and cook until soft, 8-10 minutes. Add wine and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft and liquid has almost completely evaporated, 4-5 minutes. Add crabmeat, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
2. Grease a medium baking dish with remaining butter; set aside. Season sole on both sides with salt and pepper, then ley filets on a work surface skinned side up. Put one-quarter of the crabmeat mixture at one end of each filet and roll filet around filling. Place stuffed fish seam side down in prepared dish at at least ½" apart, sprinkle with paprika, and cover with foil. Bake until fish is cooked through and filling is hot, 20-25 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and sprigs of parsely, if you like.
