Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the sole fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and slightly crumbly.
Drizzle the fish fillets with olive oil, and sprinkle them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Top each sole fillet generously with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it gently with your fingers to help it adhere.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the crumb-topped sole with fresh lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the fish for added brightness.
