Reviews
Used whole fish not kind recipe called for and still good.
Baked sole
The sauce whipped up in no time flat, and baking fish was easy. I increased cooking temp to 375 b/c it was taking too long to cook. Other than that, I liked it to a point, very moist. My better half liked it more than I did, so for that reason, I gave it 4 stars. It’s worth trying b/c it’s a matter of personal taste.
beautiful fish ruined….taste like lime juice
I was searching for another fish recipe that was tasty and wouldn’t make the whole house smell for days. This is it! It smells wonderful as it cooks, and is lovely served with rice and a spicy cucumber salad. We have made it with a variety of firm fish- all very tasty. Large shrimp would do well, as perhaps would baked tofu.
