Oma's Quick Sole Recipes
➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson
Need something quick? Try these sole recipes. They're sure to please even the finickiest eaters. These easy fish recipes using sole show three different ways to make this delicious fish.
Perhaps you'd like a pan fried fish recipe, or one that's steamed, or one that's rolled and served on a bed of mushrooms.
For these recipes you can use either fresh sole or frozen fillets. If frozen, thaw and wipe dry with paper towels before proceeding with the recipe.
If you're a sole lover, you'll be interested to note that the literal translation of the German "Seezunge" is "sea tongue" -- surely an interesting visual representation of this unusual fish.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage. Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes (in German Meals at Oma's) taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!
