What each ingredient does
- Frozen sole
- Is the main protein; cooking it in simmering water turns its flesh opaque and flaky.
The step that matters
Cooking the sole until done. Fish overcooks quickly, and once the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily it becomes dry and tough. Pull it from the water as soon as it is cooked through.
