Ingredients

• 4 fillets sole fillets
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Season the sole fillets with half of the salt and pepper, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter and lightly sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the breadcrumbs to the skillet and stir to coat the crumbs in butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the breadcrumb mixture from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped parsley, and remaining salt and pepper.

Step 7

Arrange the seasoned sole fillets in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb and bacon topping evenly over each fillet, pressing gently to adhere the topping.

Step 9

Drizzle the fillets with the remaining lemon juice and olive oil for added flavor and moisture.

Step 10

Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sole is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad.
