Oven Baked Lemon Butter Dover Sole

Welcome back! 
Today, we have a delicious fish dish! This one is nice and lemon-y, and it's not too strong, so it makes for a light meal. The Dover sole is also sometimes called the common or black sole; there is a Pacific variety of sole that is rather different and not the kind used here. This fish is said to have naturally a light, buttery taste, so that makes sense in the context of this recipe.

Oven Baked Lemon Butter Dover Sole


Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds sole filet
  • Juice from one lemon
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter, melted, or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Lemon slices
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Take a baking pan to put the sole in and grease it.
  2. Layer the sole in the pan. Try to get it as even as possible. If your sole is thicker, you may only need to do one layer.
  3. Add the salt and pepper, lemon juice, and butter/olive oil.
  4. Garnish with parsley and some lemon slices.
  5. Bake it in the oven at 375°F for 20 minutes if you have multiple layers of sole or it's really thick, and 10-15 minutes if it's just a single, thinner layer.
You can see the first picture for our serving suggestion, with just some potatoes and broccolini. The fish turned out to be very tender and juicy, especially with the lemon juice and butter/olive oil. This was good to use with the broccolini, which had just been steamed.

Habanero Salsa

Welcome back!  Today, we have a fiery Habanero Salsa! Salsa is deceptively easy to make - just chop up a few ingredients and put it through a food processor - and if you do it yourself, you're able to get it to exactly the right consistency and flavor that you want. In this case, we were able to concoct a devilishly spicy salsa with a fresh habanero. Plus, this is so much fresher than the store-bought variety of salsa! Habanero Salsa Ingredients: 3 medium tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes), deseeded 1/4 small red onion 1 jalapeno 1 habanero Cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice Pinch of salt Directions: Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and habanero into rough chunks - not diced. Cut the cilantro so that there aren't any long stems. Add the chopped ingredients into a food processor along with the lime juice and salt. Pulse until the desired consistency is reached. This salsa is great by itself but it also is an amazing way to add an extra kick to guacamole or some Brisket Queso, and of ...
