Baked Sole with Lemon

January 12, 2016 by Liza Agbanlog 65 Comments

Baked Sole with Lemon My sons and I did lots of baking over the holiday break. To balance it out, we also decided to make some healthier dishes. One of these dishes was this oven baked sole with lemon dish.  Sole fillets were used in this recipe but other kinds of white fish may be used as well. The fish fillets were coated with lemon and olive oil first, topped with breadcrumbs, cheese and paprika and then baked in the oven until just cooked. The fish came out nice and tender. With each bite, you can taste the delicious combination of the paprika and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

    Very yummy, thank you! Olive oil instead of veggie oil was just fine. I think next time we’ll skip the paprika and add some salt after cooking, but that’s just personal taste. Maybe some capers next time, too!

    Used mayo instead of oil (1 tblsp & juice of half a lemon for 2 filets)
    Mixed cheese with bread crumbs, seasoned & lightly oiled the mixture before applying to fish
    Threw them in a preheated air fryer at 350 for 4 minutes, came out perfectly flaky
    Serving with roasted fingerling potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower…

    Will totally make again

    Great fish dinner, will make it again. Olive oil is healthy so avoided vegetable oil. The grumpy comments likely unfamiliar with cooking fish.

      This baked sole with lemon is good with;
      1. rosemary roasted potatoes and asparagus -> https://salu-salo.com/rosemary-roasted-baby-potatoes-and-asparagus/ or
      2. roasted asparagus with balsamic soy dressing -> https://salu-salo.com/roasted-asparagus-with-balsamic-soy-dressing/

      There are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup. The recipe is written for 4 servings. Therefore 1 serving would reqire 1 tablespoon of oil. And 1 tbsp lemon juice as well.

    Since we are small eaters, I halved the lemon-oil mixture. I also mixed the cheese with the breadcrumbs and added some lemon pepper seasoning to zing it up a little. I baked the fish right in the casserole dish and it came out fine. The lower amount of lemon – oil seemed to do the trick.

    DELICOUS! I’ve never put breadcrumbs on top of fish, but followed the recipe exactly, As for the strange people criticizing the recipe, I coated the fish AND poured the rest in the baking dish, and it was amazing! I will be making this on rotation. Thanks!

    Yeah I think the confusion is just a grammar error. Instead of saying on #2. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and lemon juice. Pour into a 13X9 glass baking dish. Add fish and coat each fillet with the lemon-oil mixture. Lay each fillet in a single layer on the pan.”

    It should read “IN A SMALL BOWL WHISK TOGETHER OIL AND LEMON JUICE. POUR INTO A 13 X 9 GLASS BAKING DISH, ADD FISH AND COAT EACH FILLET WITH THE LEMON-OIL MIXTURE. AFTER LETTING STAND IN THE MIXTURE FOR 5 MINUTES TRANSFER EACH FILLET IN A SINGLE LAYER TO A BAKING PAN. “

      Hi Jer,
      No, you don’t put the oil and lemon juice in the baking pan. You just use it to coat the fish.

      EDITED Oct 25, 2019: Sorry, I misunderstood the question. The oil and lemon juice mixture is baked with the fish in the baking dish.

        Your recipe says:

        If you’re just supposed to coat the fish, it should say exactly that.

            If you are not supposed to leave the lemon/oil mixture in the baking pan after you add the fish EDIT YOUR RECIPE!!! Especially if people pointed this out in April 2019 (5 months ago)! I didn’t read the user comments until after I placed this dish in the oven. Now I have to start over.

                I don’t blame Mel. I had fish that was so overpowered by lemon taste it was almost inedible. What a waste of fish. Wish I had read all the comments before I started. This recipe needs to be re-written to say that fish is to be coated, not drenched and cooked in the lemon and oil.

      Hi Elizabeth,
      I have not tried frozen sole fillets to make this dish. I am pretty sure it will be fine, just thaw it first and make sure to pat it dry before coating with the lemon-oil mixture. Hope these help!

    Absolutely fantastic, so easy to do, flavors combine so well and enhance rather than overwhelm the flavor of a delicate fish like sole. Had no lemon so had to use a lime.
