Whether this is your first time trying sole, or you have had many-a-sole foray, I trust you’ll love this easy curry sole recipe.

It involves nothing more than sprinkling the sole with curry spices (or curry powder) and baking it to perfection in the oven.

In case you’re new to it, sole is a lean white fish with subtle flavor, making it an excellent canvas for adding bigger flavors to the filet.

Because sole cooks so quickly and is high in protein, many people find it an ideal main dish for weeknight meals.

So let’s jump into it, starting with the ingredients for this easy recipe.

Curry Sole Ingredients:

Sole Fish Filet: Pick up your desired amount of sole. This recipe calls for two 6 to 8-ounce fillets.

If using frozen sole, fully thaw the filets prior to starting this easy sole recipe.

Oil: We need some form of cooking oil to coat the fish filets. I like using avocado oil, but olive oil works too.

Curry Spices: Ground cumin, coriander, paprika, ground turmeric and ground ginger are the spices customarily used in curry powder. I whipped up my own curry powder using these individual spices, but you can easily save time by using a store-bought curry powder.

Garlic Kale Ingredients:

Head of Fresh Kale: Pick up one large head of kale or two small heads of kale. Sauteed kale is a lovely side dish to petrale sole recipes because it brings fiber and a dose of micronutrients to the meal.

Fresh Garlic Cloves: Garlic adds flavor to everything it touches! The simple approach of

Sea Salt and Pepper: Season the kale to your personal taste using salt and pepper.

How to Make Sole:

Begin by placing your oven on the high broil setting. We will be cooking the fish for a short period of time at a high temperature.

In a small bowl, stir together the spices.

Remove the sole from its packaging and pat the filets dry using paper towels. Transfer the fish filets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.

Coat the fish filets in avocado oil (or olive oil), then sprinkle with the curry spices (or store-bought curry powder).

Broil on the shelf that is third from the top of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked.

Sole is considered fully cooked once it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to check its temperature.

Serve sole with sauteed kale or choice of side dishes and enjoy!

Store leftover sole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
