- If necessary, hold the rolls together with toothpicks.
- Place the fish in a greased shallow baking pan.
- Cover with tomato sauce made from Cup-a-Soup.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the margarine with butter. You can also use leftover breadcrumbs instead of fresh bread for added texture. If you prefer a seafood twist, try adding crab meat to the filling, similar to the style used in Crab And Shrimp Casserole. Always ensure the fillets are fresh for the best taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the stuffed filet of sole with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to complement the dish. A lemon butter sauce can also enhance the flavors. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with rice or quinoa, which balances well with the fish, or enjoy it alongside a light seafood dish like Hot Crab And Shrimp Spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fillets in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through, to maintain their flaky texture. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the fish rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the fish is fully cooked?
The fish is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. It’s best to check around the 12-minute mark, as overcooking can lead to dryness. Aim for a tender, moist texture.
