Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 optional lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Lightly grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the sole fillets in a single layer in the dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture, whisking continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Remove the sauce from heat.
Spoon the cream sauce evenly over the sole fillets in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish under the broiler and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the broiler and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and lemon slices, if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
