Simple Baked Sole fillet, Spiced Mediterranean-style and baked in a buttery lime sauce. Green onions, dill, and capers are welcomed additions here!
If you've just started eating the Mediterranean way and are trying to add a little more fish to your diet, this super easy baked fish recipe might just be your ticket. It takes such little prep work (15 minutes), and because sole fillet is a very thin fillet of fish, it cooks quite fast, another 10 to 15 minutes tops!
Dover sole fillet happened to be on sale at the fish counter of my favorite grocery store the other day; but you could certainly use other fish fillet options (such as flounder, which comes in thin fillets like Dover sole). You may have to slightly adjust spices and cook time depending on the thickness of the fish you choose.
