Treat your ingredients with care...
- Sole fillets — Ensure that the fillets are fresh and free from any fishy odor. If sole is not available, you can substitute it with other white fish fillets such as flounder or halibut.
- Parmesan cheese — Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged grated cheese as it may contain additives that affect the texture of the crust.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy crust, you can double coat the sole fillets by repeating the dipping process in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
- Serve the Parmesan-crusted sole with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the breaded sole fillets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serving advice
Serve the Parmesan-crusted sole as a main course accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. It pairs well with a glass of crisp white wine.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden-brown Parmesan-crusted sole fillets on a platter, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an attractive presentation.
