Sole Turbans with Asparagus and Creamy Sauce

in

The sole turbans with asparagus and creamy sauce are a delicate and refined fish main course, perfect to serve when you want something elegant but at the same time simple.

Making the little rolls with the sole fillets — which I thought would be the hardest part — is actually a breeze because they are placed in a muffin tin, so they join during baking; the only problem is keeping the asparagus upright, which, even when not overcooked, have a mind of their own!

The little sauce that dresses this fish main course is very easy and the dish is truly delicious!

I placed under the sole turban a fan of boiled potato slices mainly for photographic reasons (even though I’m not very good at it) rather than as a real side dish — but it’s not a bad idea, right?

Sole, with its delicate flavor, pairs wonderfully with seasonal asparagus and the creamy sauce that makes the dish even more tasty. A light but spectacular recipe, ideal also for a special dinner.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE RECIPE SOLE TURBANS WITH ASPARAGUS AND SAUCE

  • Very good!

    I started by preparing the sole fillets, sprinkling them with a pinch of salt and a splash of oil, and placing them inside the muffin molds two at a time, rolling them in the same direction without the skin so they take the shape of turbans.

  • Once the sole fillets are arranged, I bake them in a preheated oven at 338°F for about 15 minutes, no more.

    While the fish fillets are in the oven, I boil the green asparagus for 5–6 minutes (trimmed with a knife) in salted boiling water.

  • I also prepare the sauce (because we are multitasking) by heating the heavy cream (not whipped) in a small pan with the touch of butter, and seasoning with salt and pepper.

    I let it thicken for a few minutes, then I add the washed and chopped capers, the chives cleaned and snipped with scissors, and the juice of half a firm, juicy lemon.

    After adding the ingredients to the cream, I keep it on medium heat for about 10 seconds and then turn off the heat.

  • We’re ready… I TAKE each turban with the fish, place it on the serving plate, insert a few asparagus into the hole that has formed, and drizzle everything with the very creamy sauce.

    You can enrich the sole turbans with asparagus and sauce with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley….

    Enjoy your meal!
