4 dover sole fillets
8 fresh asparagus spears
1 cup Dungeness crab meat
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 shallot, chopped

Season Dover sole fillets lightly with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Place 2 asparagus and 1/4 cup of crab meat on one end of sole. Roll into a log to wrap the fillet over filling. Arrange prepared sole on a baking dish with seam side down. Sprinkle grated lemon peel on top of sole. Pour cream and tarragon mixture over fish to coat entirely.
