Sole Baking Ingredients- 1 pack frozen sole (approx. 2-3 fish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one pack of fresh sole purchased from a Korean mart. If thawing is needed, do it slowly in the refrigerator or rinse under cold running water.
Step 2
Carefully remove the packaging from the thawed sole and lightly rinse under running water to pat it dry. If you’re sensitive to fishy smells, a little lemon juice or thoroughly patting with paper towels can help.
Step 3
Line an oven tray with parchment paper and place the prepared sole on it. Using parchment paper makes cleanup much easier later. Space the fish slightly apart to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F), then place the prepared sole inside. You can adjust the temperature based on your oven’s specifications, but typically baking for about 20-25 minutes at 200°C is recommended. Bake until golden brown.
Step 5
It’s a good idea to check the sole’s doneness during baking by opening the oven door. Keep an eye on whether the thicker parts or skin are burning, and if the inside is cooking well. You can flip it or adjust the temperature if needed. Checking around the 10-15 minute mark is ideal.
Step 6
The total baking time can vary depending on your oven and the size of the sole, but usually, a golden and appetizing baked sole is ready in 20-25 minutes. It’s done when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
Step 7
Get ready to serve with some warm rice. Enjoying it with steaming hot rice will make the meal even more delicious. Arrange the freshly baked sole attractively on a plate.
Step 8
Well-baked sole will have a crispy exterior and tender flesh that separates easily from the bones. Enjoy a delightful meal with your family using this simple yet delicious baked sole. It’s a healthy dish that highlights the natural flavor of the ingredients without needing complex seasonings.
