Sogliole al marsala

Traveling through cookbooks and novels has its benefits. No TSA folks manhandling my person (in Frankfurt they are so invasive…I thought I’d landed myself a girlfriend she searched me ever so thoroughly). No costly flights and crowded little seats with strangers spilling into your space. Eww.. No jet lag. No, this doesn’t mean I travel is outlawed from my dreams…it means I am looking on the positive aspects of staying put while we cannot take international flights.



This time, we traveled to Italy via this very old book - Cooking Without Frontiers. Review of this book may be found at Novel Meals.

Sogliole al marsala




Instructions and Ingredients.........

4 medium-sized soles, filleted
Flour
6 TB butter
Salt
1 cup Marsala wine
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
2 TB creamed butter
Lemon juice

Dust fillets carefully with flour. Heat butter in frying pan over moderate heat, add fillets and sprinkle with salt.
Cook until golden on one side, add Marsala and turn fillets and cook on other side.
Place in heated dish, set aside.

Mix parsley with creamed butter and lemon juice. Dot the fish with parsley butter and serve with a crisp salad.



This was a lovely meal and quick to get to the table. Definitely will be prepared again and is perfect for the nights you are tired and super busy. A snap to make, a delight to share over a glass of wine.

Enjoy!
