Sole with a wonderful citrus, shallot, wine sauce - marvelous!

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup finely-diced shallots

1/2 cup Chardonnay wine

1 cup fresh orange juice

1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard

1 Tbsp butter, softened

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup fresh sliced ginger

4 Alaska Sole fillets (about 5 oz each), fresh, thawed, or frozen

1 pinch favorite seafood seasoning, to taste

Directions:

Heat oil in small saucepan. Add shallots and stir-fry until lightly browned. Add wine; continue cooking, stirring and scraping down sides until wine is almost evaporated. Stir in orange juice and mustard. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter and parsley; keep warm.

Pour 1-inch water into deep frying pan. Add ginger to water; bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Place metal steamer basket in pan and open up sides.

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Sole fillets under cold water; place fillets in steamer. (Cut fillets in half, if needed, to fit in steamer).

Return water to boil; cover loosely and steam just until fish is opaque throughout, about 4 to 5 minutes. (Reduce cooking time by half for fresh or thawed fillets.) Sprinkle with seafood seasoning.

Spoon sauce over fillets to serve.
