Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb. asparagus
1 lb. sole (about 8 thin filets or 4 thicker filets)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
10 sprigs fresh thyme (or a pinch of dried thyme)
zest of one lemon
3 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
5 tbsp fish cooking liquid
generous pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Place asparagus in baking dish, I created two layers of asparagus facing opposite directions. Drizzle with 1.5 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, 1/2 of the lemon zest, and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Bake at 350 for 14 minutes.
  • Season sole with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay sole over asparagus (after asparagus has cooked for 14 minutes) in a double layer if fish is very thin (mine was). Place remaining fresh thyme and remaining lemon zest over fish, drizzle with remaining (1/2 tbsp) olive oil.
  • Roast in oven for 19 minutes, remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat melt butter and whisk in mustard. Whisk continuously adding lemon juice and 5 tbsp of fish cooking liquid (I simply tilt the baking dish and scoop out the 5 tbsp). Cook for 4 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Season sauce with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Pour sauce over fish and serve immediately.
