- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
- 2 shallots, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 strips of orange zest, removed with a vegetable peeler
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 sole or orange roughy fillets (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- In a skillet boil the orange juice, the wine, and the vinegar with the shallots, the fennel seeds, and the zest, shaking the skillet, until most of the liquid is evaporated.
- Add the water, bring the mixture to a boil, and in it poach the sole, covered, at a bare simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the sole with a slotted spatula to 2 plates and keep it warm, covered.
- Boil the poaching liquid until it is reduced to about 1/3 cup, remove the skillet from the heat, and swirl in the butter.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper and pour it through a fine sieve over the sole.
