Sole is a flat fish that spends most of its life along the ocean floor. The flavor is sweet and mild, the texture is delicate, and it easily flakes with a fork. Sole cooks very fast and loves butter.
Preparation
STEP 1
Heat broiler to high and place oven rack in top third of oven.
STEP 2
Place garlic clove in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Tear bread into a few pieces and add to food processor. Pulse to form coarse crumbs.
STEP 3
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs and stir constantly for 5-7 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and set aside.
STEP 4
Place sole on a foil-lined baking sheet. Melt remaining butter and drizzle over top of fish; season with salt and pepper.
STEP 5
Broil fish 3-7 minutes or until just cooked through (Dover cooks very quickly, Petrale takes a little bit longer).
STEP 6
Remove from oven, top generously with breadcrumbs and finish with a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
