A delightful and easy-to-make broiled sole recipe with a golden Parmesan crust.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler is fully heated before placing the fish for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, softened butter, cayenne pepper, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, and lemon zest. Mix until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the sole fillets on a broiler pan and drizzle them with the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Pat the fillets dry before drizzling with lemon juice to help the topping adhere better.
Broil the fillets about 3-4 inches from the heat source until the fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Keep an eye on the fish to avoid overcooking.
Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the fillets and return them to the broiler. Cook until the topping is bubbly and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Ensure the topping covers the fillets completely for a uniform crust.
Serve the fillets hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions or lemon wedges if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy topping at its best.
