Dover Sole in a herb crust

Herb-Crusted Roasted Dover Sole

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole Dover Sole
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil 
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Garlic Butter

Method:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C and allow it to preheat.

  2. Prepare the Fish:

    • Lightly oil both sides of the Dover Sole using a brush or your hands.

    • Season generously with salt.

  3. Prepare the Roasting Tray: Line a roasting tray with parchment paper and place the seasoned Dover Sole on top.

  4. Make the Herb Crust:

    • In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Mix thoroughly.

    • Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the Dover Sole.

    • Add some generous chunks of garlic butter across the top of the crumb across the length of the Dover Sole.

  5. Roast the Fish: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 8 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the fish is cooked through.

  6. Serve: Carefully remove the Dover Sole from the oven and transfer it to an oval serving plate. Serve immediately, either on its own or with a light salad or roasted vegetables.
