Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 2 tablespoons, finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cups fish stock
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small, sliced thinly red chili (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sole fillets by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fish stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime zest, and lime juice to the pan. Stir well to combine ingredients, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low, then carefully place the sole fillets into the simmering liquid. Ensure they are submerged in the broth.

Step 5

Cover the pan with a lid and let the fish poach for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon, gently transfer the poached sole fillets to serving plates. Spoon some of the poaching liquid over the fillets.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with finely chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and thin slices of red chili for a hint of heat, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice or a light salad as a side. Enjoy your flavorful Ginger Lime Poached Sole!
