Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- unit cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
Pat the sole fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the Parmesan and cheddar cheeses until they are fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Remove from heat.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the sole fillets, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the dish to add a crispy golden layer upon baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the top is golden brown.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh garnish before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
