Pesto Sole
- 2 ounces fresh basil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- olive oil approximately 1/4 cup
- salt
- pepper
- 2 fillets lemon sole roughly 12 oz's
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce fresh made
- salt
- pepper
- Spread pine nuts in a single layer on a foil lined baking tray.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes. Since I was starting from a non-heated toaster oven I went for 6 minutes and it came out just perfect.
- Take out of the oven when just browned and the oils are just releasing.
- Add basil, garlic and pine nuts to a food processor. You can use a blender if you are in a pinch.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Spin until the ingredients are coarse ground.
- With the food processor running add olive oil until you reach the desired consistency, a nice paste.
- Add the grated cheese in last. Spin very briefly so all the ingredients blend without melting the cheese.
- Grease a foil lined baking sheet big enough for your fillets.
- Wash your fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each of the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the fish seasoned side down. Put some pesto on each of the fillets.
- Spread the pesto evenly over the fillets adding pesto where needed.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with steamed clams and corn. This is so basic and tasty. It's easy enough to make on any given weekday for a healthy meal, light and not overpowering. Serve with the leftover white wine from the steamed clams and you have a great meal which you can whip up in 20 minutes.
