Sautéed Sole with Grapefruit
Though this dish was originally conceived for sole, any mild white-fleshed fish will do. The sauce would also stand up to a more robust fish as well. Makes 2 servings.


Ingredients:

1 grapefruit
1 tablespoon butter
2 sole fillets, about 5 or 6 ounces each
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
3 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro


Instructions:
1. Peel and section grapefruit as in Drunken Oranges. Save the juice that accumulates and add to the orange and grapefruit juice.

2. Put butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season sole with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Add sole and cook about 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Remove when springy to the touch and keep warm.

3. Add shallots and bell pepper and cook until shallots soften, about 3 minutes. Add grapefruit sections and both juices. Bring to a boil and let reduce for a minute or two. Pour over fish and sprinkle with cilantro.
