Aquanor Baked Sole with
Vegetable Bread Crumb Stuffing
(serves - 4)

Ingredients:

4 Aquanor Greysole Fillets
¾ cup thinly sliced carrots
½ cup thinly sliced onions
¾ cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ teaspoon dried dill
2 tablespoons chicken broth (a little more if necessary)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Approximately ½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind, or ¼ teaspoon dried lemon peel
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

1) Place vegetables in a food processor and chop them fine, 20-30 seconds.  2) Melt the tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped veggies.  Season them with salt and pepper and sauté them, stirring them occasionally, until they are crisp-tender and any excess mushroom liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.  Lower the heat if the veggies start to stick in the pan.  Turn off heat, stir in the thyme, dill and lemon rind and scrape the veggies into a medium-size mixing bowl. 3) Lightly stir in the bread crumbs until well combined.  The stuffing should be moist and hold together.  If it’s too dry, drizzle a little broth over it.  If it seems wet, add another teaspoon or so of crumbs. 
4) Season the stuffing with salt and pepper and let it cool while you prepare the fillets.  (You can also prepare the stuffing 2-3 days before and refrigerate it, the flavor will improve) 5) Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season both sides with salt and fresh pepper. 
6) Lay the fillets out flat on the counter with their round side down.  Evenly spread a quarter of the stuffing over each flat side, patting it on with dampened fingers.  Fold the tails over the wide ends of the fillets to make 4 triangular-shaped packets, each about 1” thick. 7) Turn the fillets over and place them round side up, in baking pan.  Drizzle with chicken broth and dot with a small piece of butter. 
8) Bake the fillets until opaque throughout, 10-12 minutes then boil prepared juices for 2 minutes.  Drizzle fillets with juices and serve.
