Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Season both sides of the filet of sole with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of paprika. Set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautΓ©ing for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Mix in the white wine, bay leaf, parsley, and remaining paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Arrange the seasoned filet of sole on top of the tomato mixture in the skillet.
Spoon some of the sauce over the fish to coat it evenly.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven, discard the bay leaf, and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as Portuguese rice or crusty bread.
