SOLE MEUNIèRE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.
• Place flour on a large, shallow plate. Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess.
• In a 12-inch nonstick or enamel-lined skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter until bubbling. Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.
• Arrange the fish on a warm serving platter. Top with parsley. In reserved skillet, heat remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter until bubbling and golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then pour evenly over fillets. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.

STUFFED SOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a baking pan. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and carrot, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until soft. Remove cover, add shrimp and saute for a couple of minutes just until shrimp turn pink and are firm to the touch. Remove mixture to a food processor and blend with heavy cream, lemon juice, tarragon and breadcrumbs until mixture is pureed. Season with salt and pepper. Place some stuffing on one half of each sole filet. Fold other half over the stuffing and transfer the filet to a baking dish. Drizzle remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed sole; season with salt and pepper. Bake, covered for 20 to 25 minutes or until flesh is cooked through and white and stuffing is hot.

ROLLED FILLETS OF SOLE

Steps:

• Grate the zest from the oranges, and set aside. Slice off the stem end of the oranges. Place the fruit on a work surface, cut side down; using a sharp knife, cut away the peel and white pith, in a single curved motion, from end to end. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use a paring knife to slice carefully between the sections and membranes of each orange; remove the segments whole. Squeeze the membrane to release any remaining juice before discarding. Set aside the segments and juice.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold four 18-inch lengths of parchment paper in half, cut into a half-heart shape, and open. Lay the fillets on a work surface, skinned side up, and top each with a layer of arugula leaves. Season with half the salt and pepper, and roll up tightly. Place one fillet seam side down on each length of parchment paper near the crease. Combine the orange zest, juice, and segments; olive oil; oregano; and remaining salt and pepper. Spoon the dressing with segments over each fillet. Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at the top of the heart. Two inches from the end, twist the parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal.
• Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet or in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron); bake 25 to 30 minutes or until fully puffed. Remove from oven; open carefully. Transfer fillets to a plate; spoon cooking liquid and orange segments over.
