| Last night we dined on Dover sole filet with white wine and mushroom sauce. |
The cookbooks based on English detective fiction that I've been reading recently offer lots of recipes for sole in various sauces. Having my mind on these detectives, I made my own favorite filet of sole recipe last night. The sole filets -- which I bought from the freezer case at Trader Joe's -- were so thin I could almost see through them, meaning they would cook in just a couple of minutes. To avoid overcooking this delicate fish, I made the sauce first, and then laid the filets on top of the sauce just long enough to cook them.

Big fan of Trader Joe's and I never thought to check the freezer section for fish. That looks great. I like finding a dish mentioned in a book and preparing it. That was my focus at my book blog, Novel Meals.
You make me want to get on some Christie books!

You are so right -- food and mysteries have had a long relationship. I love the Lord Peter books!
That looks delicious! Thanks for the tip about cooking delicate fish -- I always fear overcooking it.
Smart to cook the sauce before the fish! That's something that I would forget to do and then panic when things didn't come quite together. ;) You've also reminded me that I have some cukes in the fridge that need to be cut up!
Lord Peter and sole... I like them both! Great idea to cook the sauce first :)
I do enjoy those English detective stories as well. And The fillets of Ono, called elsewhere Wahoo, I cooked in a similar manner. In a white wine sauce with dill.
How fun to cook food from fiction. This sounds delicious.
The sauce looks delicious. The fish sounds wonderful with the sauce.
I love Dorothy Sayers and need to read more of the Lord Peter books!
I love fish -- and I'm such a horrible fish cook. This looks delish. And I can't wait to see what mysterious dish you'll speak of next!
