Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic (finely chopped), dried parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the sole fillets, ensuring the surface of each piece is well-coated.
Sprinkle lemon zest evenly over the fillets for a bright citrus flavor.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest briefly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of steamed vegetables or a side of leafy greens for a balanced, low-calorie meal.
