Sole Poached in Salsa
I don't know if your like me but with the heat wave we have been having lately it takes a lot of motivation to cook elaborate meals. This was invented on a whim, was fast to make and bursting with fresh flavor. I have called it a salsa as thats basically what it is but instead of cilantro I used basil.
Ingredients:
- a handful of fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic
- 1/4 of a red onion chopped
- 3 tomatoes chopped
- salt to taste
- a little fresh lime juice
- 2 fillets of sole (I keep in freezer for a quick meal)
Method:
- add the ingredients minus the fish to a blender and chop
- then add the fish to a pan with the salsa and cover simply poach with a lid for 7-10 minutes until the fish is cooked
- serve with rice and vegetables
