Baked Sole With Soy Honey Butter And Pak Choi

Cooking 'en papillote' (meaning in a sealed envelope) is a brilliantly simple way to keep sole succulent whilst creating an easy flavour-packed sauce. This Asian-inspired dish packs a punch from zingy ginger and a salty-sweet balance from soy sauce and honey. Served with rice and cashew nuts.

Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with 175ml [230ml] [350ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger

Cut 30g [45g] [60g] butter into small pieces

Cut 2 long rectangles of tin foil (approx. the size of A3 sheets of paper), overlap the foil and place on a baking tray (cooking for 3 or more? Do this twice!)

Tip: Overlapping the foil ensures that the fish is completely encased for cooking

Step 2
3

Place your sole fillet[s] in the centre of the doubled foil

Scatter with the chopped ginger and dot the butter evenly over

Drizzle your soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar evenly over the sole

Step 3
4

Scrunch the edges of the foil together around the sole to form a sealed parcel[s]

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 15 min or until the sole is cooked through – this is your baked sole with soy honey butter

Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily

Step 4
5

Whilst the sole is cooking, wash your pak choi, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Slice the pak choi in half lengthways

Step 5
6

Heat a large, wide-based pan with a matching lid with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the halved pak choi, cut-side down, and cook for 2-3 min or until slightly brown

Season with a pinch of salt

Once brown, add a splash of water and cook, covered, for 4-5 min further or until soft

Step 6
7

Meanwhile, add your cashews to a separate baking tray and put them in the oven for 3-4 min or until they have darkened slightly in colour

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Once cooled, chop them coarsely

Step 7
8

Serve the baked sole over the cooked rice with the pak choi to the side

Spoon the soy honey butter over the sole and garnish with the toasted cashews

Enjoy!
