If you are looking for a tasty way to replace the common breaded and fried sole, this is a wonderful healthy and quick option. The liquid that you poach the sole in becomes an amazing sauce that goes great with a side of rice and vegetables.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium frying pan, bring all ingredients, except the sole, to a simmer.
  2. Add the sole, cover and continue to simmer until fillets turn opaque, approximately 4-6 minutes depending on the thickness and then remove from the liquid with a slotted spatula saving the liquid.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil uncovered until liquid thickens (approx. 5 minutes).
  4. Plate sole with rice and your favourite cooked vegetable. Spoon sauce over sole and vegetables. Time to enjoy.

Variations

  • Try using halibut, basa or cod for something different.
  • When cooking the rice use your favourite fruit juice or broth as a substitute for water.
  • For people with diabetes, omit the sugar or use a sugar substitute.

      I think you are correct. That is a good suggestion and I am going to amend the recipe!

    excellent recipe! I did tweaked it a bit. I use 1 tble spoon of brown sugar instead of 2. I use the swerve brown sugar replacement. Only use smoked paprika and you only need a couple of sprinkles. With the lemon and red onion it was just the right tang in the sauce. Served for breakfast with a poached egg and avocado sourdough toast. The petrale sole was outstanding.

    Very nice recipe. We eat a lot of fish here. This is a nice change. Will try with Cod next time. Prepared as written except I use the swerve brown sugar replacement as well.
