How to Make Sole Mornay Baked Fish With A White Cheese Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If fillets are larger than 4 oz, cut each lengthwise in half.
  3. Roll up each sole fillet and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Place the rolled fillets in a shallow rectangular baking dish.
  5. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the fish is baking, prepare the cheese sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  10. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  11. Stir in 1 bouillon cube (chicken or fish) and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard.
  12. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  13. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  14. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  15. Once the fish is cooked, remove the foil and spoon the cheese sauce generously over the fish rolls.
  16. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
