Sorrel Sauce
Sorrel sauce is a traditional sauce to serve with fish.
The recipe here is for lemon sole, but it will go equally well with plaice, megrim, dover sole, salmon or any fish you prefer.
Have the sorrel ready washed and shredded and everything measured out.
You will be using the fish juices and having to keep the fish warm whilst you make the sauce - takes literally a minute - but speed is essential.
In the same way, have your vegetables ready to serve as well - you literally just need to wilt the sorrel and pour it over the fish immediately.
Spinach can be used in a similar way if you can't find sorrel and just want a green sauce.
Lemon Sole with Sorrel
2 lemon sole fillets
2 pats of butter
150 ml (4fl oz) white wine
2 tbspns creme fraiche/yoghurt
1 bunch sorrell - washed and chopped coarsely
Heat the oven to 200c gas mark 6.
Lay the fish skin side down in an oven proof dish large enough to take the fish in one layer.
Dot with butter and pour the wine over.
Cook in the oven for around 15 minutes until the fish is firm to the touch.
Lift onto warmed serving plates.
Very quickly, pour the juices into a small pan and stir in the creme fraich.
Boil until slightly thickened and stir in the sorrel - it should wilt within 30 seconds or so.
Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve immediately.
Boiled new potatoes, green beans, broccoli or beans are ideal side dishes.
