Sauteed Sole with Grapefruit
1 x grapefruit
1 tbl butter
2 x 5 ounce sole fillets
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper
2 tbl shallots minced
3 tbl chopped red bell pepper
2 tbl grapefruit juice
2 tbl orange juice
or more grapefruit juice
1 tbl chopped cilantro
Peel and section grapefruit. Save the juice that accumulates and add to the orange and grapefruit juice.
Put butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season sole with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Add sole and cook about 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Remove when springy to the touch and keep warm.
Add shallots and bell pepper and cook until shallots soften, about 3 minutes. Add grapefruit sections and juice. Bring to a boil and let reduce for a minute or two. Pour over fish and sprinkle with cilantro.
Description: “Try this with oroblanco grapefruit.”
Serving Ideas : Steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower.
NOTES : Though this dish was originally conceived for sole, any mild white-fleshed fish will do. In fact the sauce would also stand up to a more robust fish as well.
