Living within walking distance of Whole Foods has led me to step up my game as I get back into the cooking groove. Dover sole on sale? Into the cart, figure out the plan later. Here's what the internet turned up:
Recipe
3 to 6 sole fillets
1/4 c olive oil
zest of one Meyer's lemon
3 whole cardamom pods (or a sprinkle of cardamom powder)
fresh cilantro leaves
salt & pepper
Mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, cardamom, and cilantro. Spread half in the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Put the sole on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover with the rest of the sauce. Put under the broiler for 7-8 minutes. Feel free to squeeze some lemon juice on top, what else are you going to do with a skinned lemon?
Notes
Simple enough... Although of course I didn't do things exactly as prescribed. Rather than acquire cardamom in some form, I used a few cloves of minced garlic. Also, the original recipe calls for Celtic sea salt?! That's a thing? Heritage aside, I used the kosher salt on hand.
This was also a fortuitous recipe since I had plenty of cilantro left over from (coincidentally) another paleo seafood dish. The distinctive cilantro flavor didn't hold up under the broiler, but there was maybe a hint of burn - the cilantro? Garlic? I barely let it sit the minimum 7 minutes they recommend, it got so noisy (and aromatic, as promised). Anyway, here's the final product, a good simple way to get some paleo-approved fish in you.
