Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Sprinkle each fillet lightly with salt, ground white pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Roll each fillet tightly from the narrow end to the wider end, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

Step 4

In a large skillet or shallow pan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the skillet and stir in the lemon zest. Heat gently until the milk is warm but not boiling.

Step 6

Carefully place the sole rolls into the milk, ensuring they are submerged. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and poach for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

Step 7

Carefully remove the sole rolls from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Discard the toothpicks if used.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cooked sole rolls with fresh parsley and spoon a little of the poaching milk over the top as a sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
