SOLE FILLETS WITH LEEKS

IMG_0053 (640x427)Fresh Sole fillets, melted leeks and wrapped in paper, may not sound like much but let me assure you this is simplicity at its best!

Serves 2

2 fillets sole, skinned

2 leeks, very finely sliced

1 Tbsp white wine

30g butter

1 lemon, sliced

salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200C

Place the leeks with a knob of butter in a small pot and cook until the leeks are tender (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside.

Place each sole fillet onto a large sheet of greaseproof paper. Sprinkle over the cooked leeks, drizzle with white wine and dot with butter. Place the lemon slices onto the fish and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Bring the greaseproof paper up around the fish and seal the edges to make two parcels. Place onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked! You will notice the paper parcels will puff up and fill with steam, this is an indication that the fish is cooked.

Serve the fish parcels in the paper parcels directly onto the plates, be careful when opening as the steam is very hot!
