I have a few favorite fish recipes that I make on frequent rotation. I have been eating more fish lately and the old favorites suddenly weren’t offering enough variety anymore.
Maya also started protesting the over presence of sea creatures on our table. I made this recipe in search of a new texture and flavor. It’s been successful so far, including with the little people.
I have made this recipe a couple of times with different fish. It works well on a single large fillet or individual fillets. The cooking time will vary depending on the type and thickness of the fish.
PARMESAN CILANTRO CRUSTED SOLE RECIPE
YIELD: 4 SERVINGS
PREP TIME: 10 MIN
COOK TIME: 20 MIN
For fish thicker than sole (mahi-mahi or salmon highly recommended), bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, lower the heat to 375 and continue baking for another 10 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sole fillets
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
The crust
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Arrange the fish on an oiled baking pan. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly on top of the fish.
Step 4: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the crust firm and golden.
Step 5: Serve right away.
