Easy Baked Sole

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil, or 1 tbsp. chopped fresh sweet marjoram or parsley
• 1 1/2 -2 lbs. sole filets

Makes 4 Servings

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan until it is bubbling. Add the garlic and tomato and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Do not let the garlic brown. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese and herbs.
3. Lay the sole filets out on the counter and spread half of each fillet with the butter cheese mixture. Fold over the other half of the fillet, as if you were folding a piece of paper. A little butter may leak out of the sides of the fish, but that's okay.
4. Place the fillets in a buttered baking dish. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. bake for 12-15 minutes. If you wish, before serving, pour the pan juices into a nonreactive saucepan and boil them down to make a sauce.

Note: This recipe appears in the Legal Sea Foods Cookbook. The folks at Legal Sea Foods certainly know how to cook elegant seafood dishes. You can make this dinner any night of the week when you have a limited time to make dinner. It's a nice meal that's both elegant and tasty. I highly recommend adding a touch of sauce on top of the fish and serve a side of rice and vegetables alongside the fish to make the elegant meal complete.
