Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly score fillets on the skinned side.
- Place fillets around the outside of a 9 or 12-inch round microwave-safe dish.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs. If you don't have mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can be an excellent substitute, providing a tangy flavor. Lightly scoring the fillets helps the flavors penetrate better. You can enhance the lemon juice with a bit of zest for added brightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breaded sole fillet with a side of Piselli Al Prosciutto for a delightful contrast of flavors. A fresh salad or Gramma Ginny'S Rotini Salad can complement this dish nicely. A light white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, pairs well, enhancing the meal's Mediterranean essence.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fillets on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Microwave in short bursts until warmed through, being careful not to overcook.
