Heavenly Sole
Heavenly Sole features tender fish fillets topped with a creamy Parmesan mixture, broiled to perfection—ideal for seafood lovers seeking a flavorful, elegant dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Rinse and pat fillets dry.
- Place fillets in a single layer on a well-greased pan with a tray underneath.
- Brush with lemon juice and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Combine remaining ingredients: Parmesan, butter, green onions, mayonnaise, and salt.
- Spread the mixture on top of the fillets.
- Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, consider using fresh fish fillets rather than frozen. If Parmesan isn't available, Pecorino Romano can be a great substitute. Experiment with herbs like dill or parsley in the topping for added freshness. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. This recipe is also excellent for using up leftover Clam And Crab Dip as a topping instead of the butter and mayonnaise mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Heavenly Sole pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables such as asparagus or green beans, and a side of fluffy rice or quinoa. A light salad with a citrus vinaigrette complements the dish beautifully. For a heartier meal, serve alongside roasted potatoes or a creamy pasta dish. This recipe is perfect for a seafood dinner party or a casual family meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Heavenly Sole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fillets on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fish rubbery.
