Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and diced onion. Cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Lay half of the sole fillets on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Spread half of the cooked spinach and half of the cherry tomatoes (halved) over the fish. Pour half of the creamy Parmesan sauce over the layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: remaining sole fillets, lemon juice, remaining spinach, cherry tomatoes, and the rest of the sauce.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and chopped parsley. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
