Sole tournedos with fennel and sundried tomatoes, on a bed of israeli couscous
Sole fillet wrapped in fennel and sundried tomatoes.
Caution when cooking the fish!! Depending on your oven and the heat distribution, it might cook faster or slower!! It's good to put a timer and check after 3minutes and keep checking every two minutes. If you want to make a variation on the sauce, take the pan juices and heat them in a pan with a little bit of cream until you reach the desired consistency.
