Baked Fillet of Sole with Lemon & Butter

I was looking for cod fillets but the cold storage place next door had none in stock, so I opted for sole. Here,s a simple recipe where any 6 year old kid can cook!

Ingredients:

    1/2 kg Sole fillets

    1/4 lb. butter

    1/2 bulb garlic, chopped fine

    1 lemon

    Italian parsley, chopped fine

    Dash of salt & pepper

In a pan, heat the butter and garlic. After the butter has melted, pour the juice of half a lemon. 

In a baking dish, assemble the fillets and sprinkle salt and pepper. Pour in the heated garlic-butter-lemon and bathe the fillets. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and slice the remaining lemon and arrange on top of the fillets.

Set the oven at 180 degrees and after heating for 5 minutes bake the fillets for 25 minutes then serve.
