How to Make Sole With Lemon Souffle Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season the fish fillets (about 4, 4-6 oz each) with 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Dredge in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Brush both sides of the fish with 2 tablespoons garlic butter or olive oil.
  4. Place the fish fillets individually on ovenproof plates or in a baking dish.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  7. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the mayonnaise mixture until just combined.
  9. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Spoon the lemon soufflé mixture evenly over each fish fillet.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown.
