Sole in Ginger Sauce and Cilantro Slaw

SOLE IN GINGER SAUCE
Source: South Beach Diet Book

Ingredients:

• Sole (we used 6 thin filets)
• 2/3 c. sherry
• 1/4 c. soy sauce
• 2 tsp fresh garlic
• 2 tsp fresh ginger
• 1/3 c. green onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Whisk sherry, soy, garlic, ginger, onion and pepper in a bowl. Spray a glass baking dish and pour sauce over fish. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork.

Comments:

This was a nice way to prepare sole. The original recipe called for orange roughy, but to be quite honest, I don't know what the hell that is. The recipe you could use sole, cod or flounder instead, so basically any white fish will do. This didn't have overwhelming flavour, but it was tastey! I served it with snap peas in the skillet with garlic and soy and some cilantro slaw (see below).

Combine ingredients in a food processor and blend until quite smooth.

Comments:

You definitely have to be a cilantro lover to enjoy this salad, which thankfully, I am! It was very fresh tasting a nice compliment to the fish.
