Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, minced
• 1/2 cup green California seedless grapes, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon "Old Bay" seasoning salt
• 1 cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs
• 1 pound sole fillets (four fillets, each about 4 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon-Grape Butter Sauce:

• 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3/4 cup green California seedless grapes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon water
• 6 tablespoons softened butter

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, blend crab meat, celery, green onions, red bell pepper, chopped grapes, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs into a cohesive, flavorful stuffing mix.
2. Lay sole fillets flat on a cutting board. Spoon equal portions of stuffing in the center of each, forming 1/2-inch thick patties.
3. Artfully fold fillets around the stuffing, sealing edges to form elegant crab-stuffed parcelslike luxurious fish-wrapped crab cakes.
4. Roll each bundle in the remaining breadcrumbs, pressing gently for a crisp, golden coat.
5. Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low. Add fillets, cover, and saut 3-4 minutes per side until beautifully browned and cooked through.
6. For the sauce, simmer chicken broth, lemon zest, juice, whole grapes, salt, and white pepper in a saucepan for 2 minutes, reducing slightly for depth of flavor.
7. Whisk flour and water into a smooth slurry; stir into the simmering mixture. Cook, whisking until velvety and thickened.
8. Off heat, swirl in softened butter for a luscious, glossy finish.
9. Plate the stuffed sole and drizzle generously with warm Lemon-Grape Butter Sauce. Savor every bright, buttery bitepure coastal bliss awaits!
