OVEN BAKED CRABMEAT STUFFED SOLE WITH MEUNIERE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, green onion, celery, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. In a medium bowl, combine cooled vegetables, crabmeat, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Season crab mixture with salt and white pepper, to taste.
• Season sole fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Spoon crabmeat mixture down the center of the fillets and roll lengthwise into bundles. Using toothpicks, secure the ends so that the fillets won't unwrap during baking. Place sole fillet bundles, seam-side down, in a lightly greased 9-inch square baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the cream and cook, whisking, for 15 seconds. Season with salt and cayenne. Turn heat down to low and whisk in the remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Immediately remove the pan from the heat to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking.
• Pour warm meuniere sauce over crabmeat stuffed sole and serve immediately.

SPINACH STUFFED BAKED SOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray the bottom of a 9 by 9 casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Lay the fillets out onto a clean work surface. Evenly divide the spinach and artichoke dip, about 2 tablespoons for each fillet, and spread it over the length of the fillets. Roll each fillet up and place rolled-side down in the prepared casserole dish. Place the lemon wedges down the center of the casserole dish between the rolls and drizzle each with the lemon juice. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with Artichoke Ratatouille on the side.
• In a high-sided skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant, vegetable stir-fry blend, artichokes hearts, garlic, red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are almost completely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, cover and simmer on low until the eggplant is soft and the ratatouille is thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the basil. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
