Steamed Sole with Beurre Blanc

  1. Trim any bones or skin from: 1 1/2 pounds sole fillets (petrale, rex, lemon, or Dover).
  2. Season the fillets with: Salt.
  3. Prepare: 1 cup Beurre Blanc (Warm Butter Sauce; page 228).
  4. Set aside over a pot of warm (but not hot) water or in a thermos to keep warm.
  5. Fill a pot with water to a depth of about 2 inches and bring to a boil.
  6. Arrange the fillets in a steamer and place over the boiling water.
  7. Cook until set but still moist.
  8. This will take from 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
  9. Remove the steamer from the pot and transfer the fish to a warm serving plate or individual plates.
  10. Spoon the beurre blanc over the fish.
  11. Garnish with: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tender herbs, such as chervil, parsley, chives, or tarragon.
  12. If nasturtiums are available, remove the green stems from a handful, chop the flowers, and stir them into the finished butter sauce.
  13. They add a wonderful color and flavor that complements the sole.
