Cornmeal-Crusted Fish Fillets
Many companies use unhealthy trans fats in the batter. Our winning recipe call for a healthy egg-white coating.
Flounder with Champagne Grapes
This recipe is a variation on sole Véronique. We've used tiny Champagne grapes for the sauce — they have extremely delicate skins, so there's no need to peel them.

Turbot or sole would also be delicious in this crispy fish dish.

Broiled Grouper Fillets with Romesco Sauce
With boiled potatoes and grilled vegetables, you have an easy dinner. Lemon sole or red snapper could be substituted for grouper. The sauce—our take on a Spanish classic—can also be used as a dip for vegetables or to spread on grilled bread.
Steamed Sole with Black Bean Sauce
One of the secrets of steaming sole is to season the fish just before cooking. If the fish sits too long with the seasonings, the salt will extract water from the fish and, consequently, the fish will be less juicy. Try to choose a fish not longer than 14 inches, so that it will hang over the plate by no more than 1 1/2 inches on each end but will still fit in the steamer.
It is not necessary to purchase lemon sole for this recipe; just be sure the fish is very fresh and has the head and tail intact.
Scallop and Sole Mousselines
Sole mousselines are a culinary classic — we added scallop to bring in a note of sweetness that perfectly balances the fresh flavor of the cucumber soup. The mousselines would also be delicious served on their own with a beurre blanc, or the purée could be spread and baked in a loaf pan and served as fish pâté.
This recipe is an accompaniment for Warm Cucumber Soup with Scallop and Sole Mousselines.
