FILET OF SOLE

Well yesterday turned out to be a really nice sunny day in Ca.  We are so lucky here (so far) compared to other parts of the country, not to mention other parts of the World.  The latest disaster in Chile is very scary, especially since that horrible earthquake has tilted the earth on it's axis.  Can that really happen?  Good heavens.  The disasters are happening way too often to suit me.  All our prayers go out to the victims of the quake in Chile.  My daughter-in-law, Lorena is from Chile and her whole family is there.  Fortunately they were all spared any damage.

Well today I have another recipe for Filet of Sole.  It is quick and easy and really tasty.

FILET OF SOLE

6 pieces of Filet of Sole
18 washed and trimmed Asparagus spears
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 Lemon
3 tbls butter
3 tbls flour
Parmesan cheese

Make a roux of 3 tabls butter and 3 tbls flour. Slowly add 1 cup hot chicken broth.   Season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened. Trim 18 stalks of Asparagus saute in butter for just about 2 minutes.  Sprinkle the Filets with salt and pepper.  Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the Filets. Take 3 stalks of Asparagus and place on a filet.  Roll up and place into a buttered baking dish. Repeat with remaining 5 filets.  Pour the sauce over all and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees or until fish is done and flakes easily.

I think everyone in your family will love this dish.  Serve it with your favorite rice.  Spoon some of the sauce over the rice.  Serve with a nice salad.  A great dinner for this Friday night for those of us not eating meat during Lent (on Fridays).

Thanks for stopping in today

  2. Halibut would be quite large to wrap the Asparagus. Sole works the best
