Sole in Saor Recipe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pounds skinless Dover sole fillets
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
- 1 anchovy, rinsed and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 4 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley
- 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
- Place flour in a shallow dish and generously season with salt.
- Trim fish fillets so they are approximately the same size, dip in flour, and shake off excess flour.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed, nonreactive frying pan with 1/2 cup of the oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes.
- Working in batches, saute fish until light golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Remove to the paper towellined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
- Discard oil, wipe the pan clean with a paper towel, and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
- Place over medium heat and add onions and anchovy.
- Season with salt and let cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add red wine, vinegar, raisins, orange juice, zest, and bay leaf and increase heat to medium high.
- Let cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced by 1/2, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spread 1/3 of the onion mixture on the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch nonreactive baking dish, and set 1/2 of the fish on top, overlapping fillets just slightly.
- Season with a touch of freshly ground black pepper, then top with another 1/3 of the onion mixture.
- Top with remaining fish and season with pepper.
- Top with remaining onion mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove fish from the refrigerator 30 minutes beforehand.
- Garnish each serving with parsley and pine nuts.
