Lemon sole with Parmesan and cream

Not yet rated

A rich Parmesan cream sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the delicate flesh of lemon sole fillets in this simple fish supper from Galton Blackiston. A little freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped parsley add some freshness, and it could be served with any steamed greens or salad on the side.
