Commonly asked questions:
Do I have to use sole in this recipe or are there any other fish substitutes?
I love sole because it is a super light and easy to cook white fish. If you are looking for a substitute, I would abide by those guidelines in terms of which other fish you choose. Cod, trout, and tilapia are great substitutes for this dish because they usually come thin and have a similar consistency to sole.
If I don't eat dairy what can I substitute for the butter?
We don't use very much dairy in our house so I have a great suggestion for you: Earth Balance's Soy Free Vegan Buttery Spread. It is made of a few different cooking oils and has a very similar consistency to butter. I have used it for everything from savory cooking to baking and it always works for me.
How long does sole keep in the refrigerator?
You can keep the leftovers from this lemon garlic sole in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Personally, I don't like to keep cooked fish past the same day I cook it because I feel it loses it's freshness.
