Fillet Of Sole Ponte Vecchio Style Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready
• Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan. Carefully put the fish filets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they're done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.
• Place flour on a large, shallow plate. Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess.
• In a 12-inch nonstick or enamel-lined skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter until bubbling. Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.
• Arrange the fish on a warm serving platter. Top with parsley. In reserved skillet, heat remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter until bubbling and golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then pour evenly over fillets. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Cut each fish fillet into 4 pieces lengthwise and set aside. Rinse and dry the mushrooms and chop coarsely. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft,about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms, reduce the heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the mushrooms are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and continue cooking for 2 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Add the tomatoes (and up to 1/2 cup of their juice if using canned tomatoes) to this mixture. Stir and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Add the scallions, stir, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. The mixture may require some water, additional wine or tomato juice to keep it thick but not dry; add what you need to suit your taste. After 10 minutes, stir in the parsley and remove from the heat.
• Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease an ovenproof pan large enough for the 16 small fish fillets. Season them lightly with salt and pepper and pour the sauce over the fillets. Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve with buttered potatoes or steamed white rice.

Steps:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium high heat and coat bottom with clarified butter. Lightly dredge fish fillets in seasoned flour and place in pan. Saute quickly 2 to 3 minutes on each side and transfer to a warm dinner plate. Add grapes and deglaze pan with champagne, cook for 2 minutes and drizzle in cream to desired consistency, pour over fish. Serve with steamed red potatoes with chives and a fresh steamed green vegetable. Serve the balance of champagne with dinner.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Butter a shallow baking dish and arrange fish pieces in it; cover fish with onion slices.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, wine, flour, lemon juice and the seasonings; pour over the fish and onions.
• Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until fish is tender; do not overcook or fish will dry out.
