To make tasty dishes in minutes, use your microwave. You can microwave potatoes or other vegetables to serve with the fish; if you do, double the butter mixture, and toss with the vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish

  • ¾ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 4 sole fillets, (6 ounces each)

  • Coarse salt

  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, and mustard.

  2. Season both sides of fillets with salt; lay, flat side up, on a clean work surface. Reserve 2 teaspoons butter mixture; dividing evenly, spread remaining butter mixture on top of fillets. Fold fillets in half crosswise, enclosing butter mixture.

  3. Place folded fillets in a 9-inch microwave-safe dish with a tight-fitting lid. Top with reserved butter mixture, dividing evenly. Cover; microwave on high until fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  4. To serve, place fillets on plates, and spoon juices from dish over fillets; garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Cook's Notes

The butter mixture gives the mild-tasting sole added flavor. Spread it down the center of each fillet, then put another spoonful on top of the folded fish.
