EASY CHEESY SOLE FLORENTINE
I made this for my Mum last night, and it was awesome. My husband who is not a big fish fan really enjoyed it as well. I used a packaged rice pilaf but you could probably use long grain and wild rice, or other flavours that you like with a chicken or vegetable flavour base. You can use any type of white fish fillets, I made it as shown below.

Steps:
- Melt 4 tbls butter in a large frying pan, over medium low heat. Add the juice of one lemon.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're cooking multiple pieces of fish, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can cook properly.
- Cook the fish over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Baste the fish with the melted butter as it cooks. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the fish. The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish immediately. Sole Florentine au Gratin is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
