Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Sole fillets -- cut in 4 oz.
Pieces
8 Jumbo shrimp -- peeled, raw
8 Oysters -- shucked
12 Mushroom caps
2 cups Fish stock -- See Recipe
1 cup Dry white wine
3 Shallots -- chopped fine
¼ cup Fresh lemon juice
1 dash Salt -- to taste
1 dash Black pepper -- to taste
4 ounces Butter -- for the roux
½ cup Flour -- for the roux
2 cups Locke-Ober cream sauce --
See Recipe
2 Egg yolks -- beaten
½ cup Unsweetened whipped cream

Directions

STEP ONE: Fold sole fillets in half and place in a baking dish with shrimp, oysters, and mushrooms. Cover with stock, white wine, shallots, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with oiled paper, and poach in a 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes.

STEP TWO: Remove sole fillets and keep them hot in an ovenproof casserole. Top with mushroom caps. Reduce stock in which fish was poached to ½ the original volume, add roux to thicken, and simmer for five minutes, blending smooth with a whisk.

STEP THREE: Add Cream Sauce (see recipe for "Locke-Ober Cream Sauce" in this cookbook) and egg yolks and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and gently fold in whipped cream. Strain sauce over top of fish and glaze in the oven until golden brown.

Serve hot, with fleurons (small pastry decorations).
