Best Sole With Lemon Souffle Topping Recipes

BAKED SOLE FILLET, THE MEDITERRANEAN WAY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil and melted butter with a dash of seasoned salt. Stir in the shallots, garlic and capers.
• In a separate small bowl, mix together the seasoned salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Spice fish fillets each on both sides.
• Place the fish fillets on a lightly-oiled large baking pan or dish. Cover with the buttery lime mixture you prepared earlier. Now arrange the green onion halves and lime slices on top.
• Bake in 375 degrees F-heated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Remove the fish fillets from the oven and garnish with the chopped fresh dill.
• Serve next to white rice or roasted Greek potatoes and a simple Mediterranean salad.

LEMON PUDDING SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Lightly brush four 8-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust each with sugar. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead.)
• Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, then cool to warm. Whisk in the sugar and lemon juice and zest until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and an instant-read thermometer registers 175 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Do not boil. Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the flour until smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar if using in a large, clean nonreactive bowl. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Fold a quarter of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
• Divide the souffle mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the filled ramekins in a roasting pan. Carefully fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the souffles until golden brown on top, 12 to 14 minutes. Using tongs as an aid, carefully remove the hot souffles from the water to a plate.
• If desired, make a small indentation in the center of each souffle and place a small scoop of raspberry sorbet in the indentations. Serve the souffles immediately.

LEMON SOLE

Steps:

• Preheat 2 medium non-stick skillets over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay the fillets on a piece of wax paper, parchment, or a baking sheet and blot dry with paper towels. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. (If the fillets tapers down to a very thin tail, fold the tail back to make a more uniformly thick fillet.) Put the flour on a plate. Dredge the rounded-sides of the fillets in the flour and shake off any excess.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of butter to each skillet. When the butter stops foaming, add 2 fillets to each pan, rounded-side down, and cook, lightly shaking the skillets occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, flip the fillets with a spatula, and let the fillets finish cooking in the residual heat in the pans, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the fillets to 4 warm plates and cover loosely with foil.
• Add the lemon juice and water to one of the skillets. While moving the skillet in a circular motion, add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, little by little, until melted and a smooth, creamy sauce is formed. Stir in the parsley and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon some of the sauce over each fillet and serve immediately.

LEMON SOUFFLE CHEESECAKE WITH BLUEBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 9 inch springform pan. Cut an 18 inch square of aluminum foil, and wrap around the outside bottom of the pan.
• To make the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar together in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter until thoroughly blended. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from oven and cool on a rack.
• To make the filling, place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl; beat until creamy, about 2 minutes. Continue beating while gradually adding 1 cup sugar. Beat until sugar is thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream until well blended.
• Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Continue beating while gradually adding 1/3 cup sugar in a slow stream, until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat. Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the cream cheese mixture. Repeat twice more with remaining meringue, mixing carefully to not deflate the egg whites, until no meringue streaks remain. Pour the filling into the prepared pan, and place in a large baking pan. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the baking pan up to 1 inch on the sides of the springform pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until the top is almost set, 50-55 minutes. Turn off the heat, prop the oven door open about 2 inches, and allow cake to rest in the oven until completely set, about 1 hour longer. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight before serving.
• To make the topping, place 1 cup blueberries and sugar in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until berries begin to break, 6-8 minutes. While still hot, strain the berries through a sieve or cheesecloth placed over a bowl, reserving the juice. Discard berry pulp. Allow the juice to cool.
• Mix remaining 2 cups blueberries and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Stir in the strained blueberry juice. Just before serving, pour the blueberry topping over the cheesecake.

SOUFFLE OF DOVER SOLE WITH CRAB, GINGER AND LEMON GRASS

Steps:

• Make the sole: Lightly score the skin side of the sole fillet to keep the sole from the shrinking. Season sole with salt and pepper and brush with the melted butter. Turn sole on its side, and form a circle, skin side in, with the fillets. Secure with a toothpick. Place on a lightly greased non-stick baking tray. Refrigerate until needed.
• Make the sauce: Combine the vegetable stock, ginger and lemon-grass. Reduce by half. Add heavy cream and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Strain sauce. Keep warm in a small saucepan.
• Make the souffle: Combine sole fillet, egg yolk, whole egg, cream, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into puree. Layer crab meat and souffle mixture into sole circles, starting with the crab. Use half an ounce of crabmeat total per sole fillet. Squeeze lemon juice over crab during layering. Place souffles in a preheated 375 degree oven for 7 minutes. Souffle should be golden brown. Assemble the dish: Using a spatula, carefully remove the souffle to a serving plate. Spoon sauce around edge of plate. Garnish each plate with three grapefruit segments and sprigs of chervil.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease 4 8-ounce ramekins or souffle dishes. Set the buttered dishes in a baking pan at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Spread berries in the bottoms of the dishes.
• Beat egg yolks until light. Beat in sugar and remaining butter until mixture is creamy. Beat in lemon juice, zest and flour, and then whisk in the cream. Beat egg whites with salt until they hold peaks but are not dry. Fold egg whites into lemon batter, and spoon mixture over berries in each dish.

LEMON SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Butter a 2-quart soufflé or other deep baking dish. Sprinkle the dish with sugar, invert it, and tap to remove excess sugar. Set aside and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar until light and very thick; the mixture will fall in a ribbon from the ends of the beaters when it is ready. Beat in the flavorings and set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold soft peaks; continue to beat, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, until they are very stiff but still glossy. Stir a good spoonful of them thoroughly into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites, using a rubber spatula or your hand. Transfer to the prepared soufflé dish(es) and bake until the center is nearly set, 25 to 35 minutes (15 to 25 minutes for individual soufflés). Serve immediately.
