Fillet of sole and salmon

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Dover sole fillets (approx 1 1/2 lb)
2 pounds Salmon fillets, cut thin
1 cup White wine
½ cup Fish stock
1 cup Heavy cream
1 Stick unsalted butter, cut small pieces
½ tablespoon Chopped fresh chervil
½ tablespoon Snipped fresh chives
½ tablespoon Chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 Lemon, juice of
Salt
Fresh pepper

Directions

These are from ART Culinaire and are very good.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Wash the fish and cut both the sole and salmon into strips ½ inch wide and 6 inches long. Place three pairs of sole and a salmon strip together and gently braid them. Place the braids in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pour the white wine and fish stock into the pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully lift the braids onto service plates with a spatula long enough to fit under the delicate braids or using 2 spatulas from either end.

Strain the liquid remaining in the pan into a sauce pan and reduce by ½ over high heat. Add the cream and reduce by ½ again.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter bit by bit, until the sauce is emulsified. Add the fresh herbs and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Spoon the sauce around the braids on the plates and serve immediately.

Yield: Serves 8
