This month, Wendy is hosting. She wrote: "Stuffing is not just for Turkey! Let's get creative and share some stuffed fish recipes. How about a whole stuffed fish, or stuffed shrimp or fish fillets, perhaps a stuffing recipe containing fish (oysters anyone?) or a lobster or crab imperial. Your only limitation is your imagination."
So, I let my imagination go wild, combining a few different methods, making dashi to create a miso broth, then poaching the petrale sole from our Real Good Fish CSF in the style of
Sole VĂ©ronique. I topped it with Crisped Mushrooms. Oh, my...pure deliciousness!
The Rest of the Stuffed Goodness
Ginger Dashi makes 4 cups
- 4 C water
- two 2-inch piece dried seaweed
- 1 C loosely packed dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi)
- 1" knob of fresh ginger, peeled and quartered lengthwise
Miso Broth
- 4 C ginger dashi
- 1 generous T red miso
Sole
- 6 filets petrale sole
- 6 t fresh crab meat
- 2 T butter
- 1 t sesame oil
Garnish
- Crisped Mushrooms (I used shiitake)
- green onion, trimmed and thinly sliced
Procedure
Ginger Dashi
Combine the water, seaweed, bonito flakes, and fresh ginger in a large pan. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steep for another 5 minutes. Strain out the seaweed, bonito flakes, and ginger.
Miso Broth
Whisk the miso paste into the dashi until dissolved. Set aside.
Sole
Place 1 t crab meat on each fish filet and roll as tightly as you can. Melt butter in sesame oil in a large skillet and place rolled filets in the pan.

I love that this fish is stuffed and poached. The poaching liquid sounds amazing Cam.
ReplyDeleteExotic for me. Ordinary for you. Love the crisped mushroom idea. Great for texture with fish
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by this recipe! I'm ordering some bonito flakes right now. This sounds amazing.
