Directions
Rinse fillets thoroughly in cold water; pat dry with paper towels, season each side lightly with salt and set aside.
Combine melted butter (or olive oil) and lemon juice in a small bowl. Combine flour, chopped parsley and pepper in a shallow container.
Dip fillets in butter/lemon juice mixture and dredge in flour mixture.
Transfer fillets to a nonstick baking sheet, and drizzle any remaining butter/lemon mixture over fish. Sprinkle fillets with paprika.
Bake at 375℉ (190℃). for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
NOTE:
If a crisper texture is desired, broil baked fillets 4 inches from heat for 1 minute. Garnish each fillet with a lemon wedge and fresh parsley sprigs, if desired.

Just tried this after reading some of the negative comments. Not sure what their problem is, it turned out as expected for me, nice gentle lemon butter flavor to the fish. Clean fresh taste certainly not awful, please...

Maybe I did something wrong, tasted like mush!!
Maybe the cooking time was too long?

Mush. ? Cooking time was way too long. Sole is a very quick fish to prepare.

Well, after reading some of these negative comments, I think the culprit might be that you didn't dry the fish enough... since you said it came out mush!?!... On the positive side, I've made sole like this and it is very light and great for you! Have a Great Day!.

I've had "Dover sole"that did turn out like mush but I always cook it the same way. I'm guessing that yours & my bad experience was due to 1 of 2 reasons. Either the fish you got was not really Dover sole but a cheaper more available fish or it was very old when purchased.
