Shirley’s Oven Baked Sole Fillet
Fresh Sole Fillets
Butter
Nabisco Ritz Crackers – very fine crumbs
Lemon Juice
Wax Paper
Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
This recipe can be used for any amount of sole fillets. Adjust the amount of butter and Nabisco Ritz Cracker crumbs to the amount of Sole Fillets you have. Using a rolling pin or other utensil, crush the Nabisco Ritz Crackers until you have very fine crumbs. Usually one sleeve will do one pound of sole fillets. Put in a pie plate or other flat dish or bowl.
Wash and dry the fresh sole fillets
Mix a dash of fresh lemon juice with the melted butter. 1 teaspoon to 1 stick of butter is a good ratio.
Ladle a tablespoon of the butter/lemon juice mixture in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Spread evenly.
Dip the Sole Fillet into the butter/lemon juice mixture.
Coat the buttered Sole Fillet with the Nabisco Ritz Cracker crumbs.
On wax paper, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese on the fillet. Loosely roll up the fillet. Place the rolled fillet into the glass baking dish.
Continue until all fillets are coated and in the glass baking dish. Fillets cook best if they are not too crowded in the pan.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom of the baking dish. Do not pour directly onto the fish.
Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake at 450 degrees until the fillets flake with a fork. Normally 15 – 20 minutes to bake. Do not undercook.
