Poached Dover sole with lemon, capers, olives, spinach and roasted potatoes

Recipe Overview

A delicate Dover sole preparation poached gently in white wine, water, garlic and olive oil, then finished with cherry tomatoes, capers, black olives, parsley and lemon. Sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes complete the Mediterranean-Tuscan plate.

Chef Notes

Keep the poaching liquid below a boil so the Dover sole remains tender and naturally sweet. Add capers, olives, parsley and lemon late enough to preserve brightness and avoid overpowering the fish.

Prepared Component Logic

This recipe uses direct Live Inventory ingredients. Water is retained as a non-costed utility line; no prepared stock or sauce component is inherited on this page.

Preparation

Published source timing: 20 min prep · 18 min cook · 38 min total.
  1. Reduce white wine, water, garlic, and olive oil gently to create a delicate aromatic poaching base.
  2. Lay the Dover sole into the liquid and poach carefully over low heat without boiling.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes, capers, black olives, parsley, and lemon juice to finish the warm Mediterranean sauce.
  4. Sauté the spinach lightly and prepare the roasted potatoes for plating.
  5. Plate the poached sole over the spinach, spoon over the warm sauce, and serve with roasted potatoes.

Service Suggestions

  • Poach gently and serve immediately to protect the sole’s fine texture.
  • Keep the caper-olive-lemon sauce bright and balanced rather than overly salty.
  • Plate spinach beneath the fish and keep roasted potatoes crisp at service.
