method

For the sole

Clean the sole and fillet it, removing the four fillets. Reserve the outer sole fins and spines to be used as garnish.

Season and add the ginger. Set aside.

For the sole side flaps

Fry the side flaps in the oil. Completely drain away the oil and season.

For the sole paste

Blend all of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.

For the sole sauce

Dilute the xanthan gum well in the stock. Simmer all ingredients over low heat for 5 minutes. Strain and add salt and pepper.

For the mimetic powders

Keep them separate and in a dry place until the last moment.

Rub the sole with the paste and lightly fry in a pan with a little oil, lightly colouring both sides, keeping it juicy. Try to ensure the sole keeps its length and does not shrink.

Place the lightly seasoned sole fillet on a plate and sprinkle it with different powders, creating a mimetic scene that simulates the habitat of the sole in the sea. Accompany it with the sauce and the fried side flaps.
