Directions

STEP ONE: Fold sole fillets in half and place in a baking dish with shrimp, oysters, and mushrooms. Cover with stock, white wine, shallots, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with oiled paper, and poach in a 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes.

STEP TWO: Remove sole fillets and keep them hot in an ovenproof casserole. Top with mushroom caps. Reduce stock in which fish was poached to ½ the original volume, add roux to thicken, and simmer for five minutes, blending smooth with a whisk.

STEP THREE: Add Cream Sauce (see recipe for "Locke-Ober Cream Sauce" in this cookbook) and egg yolks and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and gently fold in whipped cream. Strain sauce over top of fish and glaze in the oven until golden brown.

Serve hot, with fleurons (small pastry decorations).
