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.

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...
almost 12 years agoTry adding Lemon Pepper?
almost 10 years agoMaybe I did something wrong, tasted like mush!!
over 5 years agoMaybe the cooking time was too long?

Mush. ? Cooking time was way too long. Sole is a very quick fish to prepare.
about 5 years agoWell, 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.

4 teaspoons total of butter and lemon juice seems very stingy. And there's supposed to be enough to drizzle afterwards?
over 3 years agoI'm not a good cook and I didn't follow this exactly to the letter but mine did come out mushy. I also had used gluten-free flour which I'm not sure contributed to it. My fillets were quite soft and thin as well. The flavor was pretty good though.
about 3 years agoTried this tonight and it was very. I did increase the amount of butter and flour.
about 3 years agoThis tasted terrible !
over 2 years agoTwenty minutes at 375 might be too hot for Dover Sole, which is a very thin fish. Try 350 (preheated) for 12-15 minutes. Also, don't substitute olive oil for the butter and try skipping the flour (if you use too much, it could be the source of your "mush"). Instead, add a few capers or a wee bit of finely chopped cherry tomatoes. The thing with Sole is, less is more.
over 2 years agoI used too much flour first time and felt it had the "mush" feel - next time did it with a whisper of flour and it was wonderful!
This dish was awful; I’ll either put it in soup or throw it away!
about 2 years agoMushy, did you dry it after thawing on paper towels. 10 to 15 minutes at 350 and just a dusting of flour, you are not breading it like you are deep fat frying it. I do this in a foil packet and it is wonderful. Butter, parsley and lemon, if it tasted bad it was your fish.
about 2 years agoVery nice recipe
almost 2 years agoIf you are cooking this after it's been frozen, you've had it. It has to be as fresh as fresh or it will always be mushy.

UK Dover sole is a different, Firmer fish. Lives in shallower water. Hence it's popularity. USA 'Dover sole' fish are more mushy anyway.
about 1 year agoI just made this with Atlantic wild-caught frozen filets from Costco, used Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour 1:1 blend, and it turned out perfectly. I drained the filets for about 20 mins on paper towel. Cooked @ 325 convection for 15 mins.

This was a horrible waste of fresh Dover sole. Ingredient amounts did not even cover 6 oz. of fish. Fish was very mushy and tasted more like flour than any other flavors. Would not recommend or make again.
