Ingredients

  • Pacific Dover sole fillet (we used four for this recipe)
  • Bacon, precooked (floppy)
  • Asparagus
  • Long grain rice of your choice (we use forbidden rice)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Olive oil

For the Sauce

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh lemon wedges

Directions

Prepare your rice to package specifications. While your rice is cooking, fry up some bacon. We recommend cooking it on the floppier side since you will be wrapping it around your asparagus later.

Prepare your fillets. Add salt, pepper, and almond flour. Rub them lightly, flip, and repeat on the other side. Next, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once bubbling, add your fillets to the skillet and cook. 

While your fillet is cooking, wash and prepare your asparagus to your preference. We saute ours for this recipe. To do that, just heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add some olive oil, and then add your asparagus and cook for 3-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of your asparagus).

Flip your fillets, making sure to cook evenly on both sides. Once cooked through and golden on both sides, remove from heat. 

Mix up your sauce ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl, and plate your meal! First, lay out a bed of your rice, then top with your fillet. Next, take about 5-6 pieces of asparagus and wrap a piece of bacon around their center and place on the plate. Drizzle your sauce over everything and serve with a garnish of fresh lemon.
