Asparagus and Crab-Stuffed Dover Sole with Tarragon Cream



I know, I know. The title asparagus and crab-stuffed dover sole with tarragon cream is quite a mouthful. But I offer no apologies. Reading its name in one gasp is the only difficulty you’ll encounter with this recipe as this dish is very simple to put together for casual family dinners yet fancy enough for special gatherings.

Asparagus and Crab-Stuffed Dover Sole with Tarragon Cream

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 dover sole fillets
8 fresh asparagus spears
1 cup Dungeness crab meat
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 tsp grated lemon peel
salt and pepper

Asparagus and Crab-Stuffed Dover Sole with Tarragon Cream

Procedure

Trim stalk end of asparagus. Wash and drain well.

In a sauce pot, combine heavy cream, shallot and fresh tarragon. Bring to a boil and then lower heat. Simmer until dover sole fillets are ready and stuffed.

Season dover sole fillets lightly with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Place 2 asparagus and 1/4 cup of crab meat on one end of sole. Roll into a log to wrap the fillet over filling.

Arrange prepared sole on a baking dish with seam side down. Sprinkle grated lemon peel on top of sole. Pour cream and tarragon mixture over fish to coat entirely.

Bake uncovered in a 350 F oven until just cooked through, around 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
