Filet of Sole with Pesto Shrimp
|
On a recent evening I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from work, with no idea in mind about what we were going to be having for dinner. I felt like eating healthy, but lean chicken and pork was getting a bit old.
As I passed the fresh fish counter, the filet of sole that was on special caught my eye. Typically I don’t cook a lot of fish. Greg won’t eat it. I’m not convinced that he wouldn’t like it if he’d just give it a “real” try, but he’s pretty stubborn about it. So if I cook fish, it means I cook two meals and not one. The sole looked like it was worth the effort. So I picked up some fresh shrimp as well, a couple of sausages for Greg and headed home. Once there, the fish was incredibly easy to prepare. I simply sauteed it briefly in a bit of olive oil, seasoned it with salt and pepper, and splashed some freshly squeezed lemon juice and a bit of white wine. I added the shrimp and a tablespoon or two of the pesto that I made last summer. A sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese finished it all off. It was MUCH better than the sausages that Greg had! |
