Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the sole fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated parmesan, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika, then stir in the sautéed spinach.

Step 5

Arrange the sole fillets in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is generously covered.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top of the dish to create a bubbly, cheesy crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
