Best Sole Goujons With Thai Sauce Recipes

SOLE GOUJONS WITH PAPRIKA SALT

Steps:

• Heat oil and make paprika salt:
• Heat oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
• Stir together 1 tablespoon salt and half of paprika in a small bowl.
• Make batter and fry fish:
• Pat sole dry, then cut crosswise on a diagonal into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Whisk together flour, remaining paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then whisk in seltzer. Working with 6 pieces at a time, dip fish in batter to coat, shaking off excess, and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fish is just cooked through (cut a piece open to test), 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle with some of paprika salt. Skim any bits of fried batter from pot and return oil to 375°F between batches.
• Serve remaining paprika salt on the side for dipping.

DOVER SOLE GOUJONETTES WITH WATERCRESS, WASBI CREME FRAICHE, SPICY RED PEPPER REDUCTION, BALSAMIC SYRUP

Steps:

• Remove core and stem from the pepper, cut the pepper into pieces and run through juicer. Combine pepper juice and port wine and reduce down to 3/4 to 1/2 a cup. Add Thai Chili Garlic Sauce last minute, stir and strain. Reserve until needed.
• Reduce vinegar and onions down to approximately 1/4 cup liquid. Strain and discard the onions. Reserve until needed.
• Put flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate deep dishes. Season sole strips with salt and pepper and dip into flour first. Roll on a flat surface and with the curvature of your palm form into the shape of a small fish (tapered at each end.) Transfer into beaten egg, remove and put into bread crumbs, coat well. Roll again on a flat surface to keep the shape. Heat soy oil in a heavy duty skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Place breaded Sole in hot oil and fry until golden brown in color, for approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and place onto paper towels. Pick watercress of the big stems . Squeeze lemon juice and drizzle olive oil over watercress, season with salt.
• PLATING: Mound salad in middle of the plate and arrange Sole around it. Drizzle the three different sauces onto plate, in any desired pattern.

GOUJONS OF SOLE AND DILL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Cut the sole fillets in half lengthways, and then slice each fillet half into about 4 long strips on the diagonal. This will give you 8 goujons from each fillet.
• Put the cornstarch into a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs or panko into another shallow bowl, and beat the eggs together in an additional bowl.
• Dip each goujon into the seasoned cornstarch, coating it well, then the beaten egg, and finally the bread crumbs.
• Lay the goujons on a cooling rack for a while, and heat the oil in a pan. (Or at this point you can freeze them in layers of baking parchment in an airtight container.)
• Fry the goujons for about 2 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove to pieces of kitchen towel, as you go, to remove excess oil.
• For the Dill Mayonnaise:
• Put the mayonnaise into a bowl, and finely chop the dill, adding it to the mayonnaise. Stir in some lime juice and taste for seasoning. Serve with the prepared fish.
