Dover Sole with lemon butter dill sauce, quinoa, brussell sprouts, grilled asparagus

Pan fried Dover Sole with a lemon butter dill sauce, Imperial quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts, and grilled aspargas.

It was a tough day.  Well, accept for my swim.  I was ready to do a BOC (bowl of cereal) and hunker down for the night, when I decided, you know what?  I'm making something.  Dang, and it turned out pretty good!  I had some dover sole in the freezer, and I just got some more brussel sprouts, and asparagus, and Moira noticed some Imperial quinoa in the cupboard.  As it turns out, there's quite a bit to it, but everything was fast and easy to make.

Serves 4  Time: 45 minutes, less if you are fast
