1. Start by seasoning the sole with salt and pepper. 
2. Starting at the thin end of each piece of sole, role them up lengthwise (it doesn’t have to be tightly rolled) and then place a toothpick through the roll, securing it together
3. In a skillet add garlic and lemon zest to melted ghee or butter and then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.

WHAT OTHER TYPES OF FISH CAN I USE? 

If you are struggling to find sole, there are a few substitute types of fish that you can use in its place. Flounder and plaice are the best replacements that are both light and flaky and thin enough to be rolled up. 

 

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS SOLE 

Serve these Sole Rolls with steamed spinach, roasted broccoli or asparagus. It would also be fantastic with cauliflower mash (or potato) to absorb any of the excess sauce. I also like eating these sole rolls with a simple salad of arugula with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. 

 

 

 

 

 

CAN I MAKE THIS IN ADVANCE?

The sole can be rolled up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge. I would recommend only making the sauce and baking the sole rolls in the oven right before serving. 

 

WHAT ABOUT LEFTOVERS?

Leftover sole will last for up to 3 days in the fridge stored in an airtight container. Leftovers can be reheated in a pan on medium heat on the stove or in the microwave. Be sure to only reheat the sole until its warmed through, don’t overcook it otherwise the fish will dry out.
