Sautéed Filet of Sole with Artichoke Pesto
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Ingredients
- Pesto
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 8 almonds
- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons parsley leaves, stems removed
- ¼ cup Homemade Mayonnaise (page 271)
- Fish
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 4 filets of sole
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until hot.
- Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until limp.
- Place the almonds, artichoke hearts, salt, basil, parsley and mayonnaise in the bowl of a food processor. Cover, and pulse several times until you reach the desired consistency – the pesto can be served chunky or smooth, to your taste.
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat for 1 minute, or until hot.
- Combine the garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
- Place 2 filets in the frying pan. Sprinkle the tops of the filets with the garlic salt mixture and cook the fish for 2 minutes. Carefully turn the fish, sprinkle with more of the garlic salt mixture, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the cooked filets to a platter.
- Repeat Step 6 with the remaining filets.
- Serve each filet topped with 2-3 tablespoons of the pesto.
- Store any remaining pesto in the refrigerator, for future use as a dip with carrots and celery.
Notes
Phase 3 Variation: Once you reach Phase 3, you may add ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese to this pesto before serving. Try it over buckwheat pasta, topped with additional grated cheese and freshly chopped tomatoes.
