Hi all,

yes I could Google Search it, but rather get a first hand recipe for it that is tried and true.
Here in Hawaii, Sole is not common. But I bought some fresh from Whole Foods today, my Husband loves it. And my kids like fish too.
I assume: butter/garlic/lemon is enough?
Maybe some white wine in it?

I cooked this once, a long time ago, but I think I screwed it up.

So if you got a good recipe, can you share it?
THANKS!

What can I do next?

I have parchment and foil.

I used to cook this a lot. All I did was use a little white wine, butter and lemon and broil it for maybe 10-min. I think? They were the thin fillets.

Sole (season w/salt and pepper
Sliced mushrooms (saute in butter...set aside)
Sliced green onions (just a sprinkle on each piece)
Gruyere cheese (rough grated)
Lemon wedges

Place fish in a pyrex dish, Put some mushroom, onions and gruyere on one half of each piece of sole. Fold other half over and season w/salt and pepper, put more gruyere, bake at 350 for about 10-12 min (or until gruyere is bubbling and a little brown)....serve w/lemon wedges....Have all your sides ready, this dish should be served hot.

As sides I would suggest a green salad, steamed veggie and good french bread (your favorite beverage).

Yes! Those ingredients are great, definitely use some white wine, but I suggest adding capers and sliced black olives. Fold all of the ingredients into either a parchment packet or foil packet and bake at 400 for about 15 minutes (depends on thickness of your filets).

When I used to work at a steak house, my favorite menu meal was stuffed sole with spinach and cheese. I'm only sorry that I don't have the recipe.

This one was a marinade I found for salmon, but personally I like it much better on white fish like sole.
If you have a Trader Joes store, they sell good fresh white fish (wild) in the frozen section. And also they sell frozen garlic cubes which are indispensable for me, I use that in place of fresh garlic, each cube is the same as 1 clove fresh garlic.
I make the marinade in a bowl, transfer it to a plastic gallon ziploc bag and marinate the fish in that, and then pour off the rest on top of the fish before I bake it. Bake it at whatever temp works best for the fish you are using.

1/3 cup olive oil
3 TB. soy sauce
2 TB. Dijon or spicy brown mustard
1 clove fresh garlic (or 1 frozen cube)

Super easy, super tasty, serve with asparagus or salad and bread.

Got a good cast iron skillet? I like a crust on a thick filet (wait is it thick or thin?).

I've got a huge herb garden, so I'll just grab a handful of your fave, a bottle of white, and my surf board and be there in a bit!

(Got a little fresh tarragon, dill, or thyme?)

:)

Well if it's thin I'd put it in parchment too, with some wine, olive oil, lemon slices, fresh herbs, and thinly sliced whatever veggie I had around. Like ribbons of zucchini or sweet peppers.

I tend to cook all fish exactly the same. Butter, Italian seasoning, lemon, dash of salt. Wrap in foil. BBQ or bake it.

Unless it's tilapia, then I bread it in Italian bread crumbs and fry it.

My husband loves this one too:
Wash and dry fish
dredge in flour
dip in beaten egg
coat well with: 3 parts panko to 1 part parmesan/romano cheese, chopped parsley and basil. Press the fish into the panko mix to coat and let it rest for 5 minutes before gently frying in olive oil. I do not use much oil, just enough to coat the pan. I use an olive oil sprayer on the uncooked side before I turn it so it is not greasy. Serve hot with a wedge of lemon.

I like it the French Style (Munier) with butter and herbs. I also really like it breaded and fried with a side of lemon.
