Pan-Fried Sole Fillet Recipe by Lorena Grater

Fish is an excellent protein to include in your diet. It is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats!

Ingredients and Substitutions:

• Sole Fillet: Any fish fillet works here but sole fish is awesome because it’s so thin and needs only 1 minute per side to cook. The best alternative is a haddock fillet.
• Dried Onion: They are super flavorful and perfectly clean and healthy.
• Parmesan: Other hard cheese can work but is higher in fat and will melt. Parmesan is great because it can withstand a lot of heat and doesn’t easily burn.
• Spices: Paprika, oregano, sea salt, and pepper are super flavorful and work wonderfully for fish but add any spices you love to your onion parmesan mix.
• Eggs: Eggs are necessary to serve as “glue” for the crust. Recommend not to replace or omit the eggs.

Instructions For Sole Fillet Pan-Fried:

1. Take the sole fillets out of the fridge and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Preheat a large pan over medium heat.
3. Get two large flat bowls big enough to fit a fillet into them. Add 2 eggs to the first bowl and whisk until completely liquid and not snotty anymore.
4. Add 1/2 cup dried onion, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper to the second bowl and mix until well combined.
5. Submerge the entire sole fillet in the whisked eggs. Then transfer to the bowl with the crust ingredients and press lightly to ensure it is completely covered.
6. Add 1 tsp butter to the hot pan and place 2-3 sole fillets at a time, make sure to not overcrowd them. Pan-fry for only 1 minute on one side, then flip and fry for another minute on the other side.
7. Serve immediately and drizzle fresh lemon juice all over.
