Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the sole fillets in a single layer.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated parmesan, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika, then stir in the sautéed spinach.
Arrange the sole fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is generously covered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top of the dish to create a bubbly, cheesy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
