Baked Sole in Fresh Tomato Sauce
Baked Sole in Fresh Tomato Sauce is a healthy, 30-minute, low carb, Whole 30 meal that celebrates fabulous summer tomatoes! This quick and easy baked fish is ideal for busy weeknights.
I drove myself crazy trying to decide what to do with my 15 minute Fresh Tomato Sauce. It sat in the refrigerator for a couple of days and every time I opened the door I devised a new plan. First I was going to use it to make an ultra-light summer version of spaghetti with tiny meatballs, then a fresh tomato dip for fried zucchini sticks. I briefly considered a Spanish omelet.
But in the end I went with this Mediterranean inspired baked fish. This could be Greek, Spanish, or Italian. It’s so healthy it’s almost ridiculous. It takes just a few minutes to throw together (assuming you’ve already got your sauce) and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. How often do those three coincide? Except for a drizzle of olive oil right before this hits the oven, this dish is virtually calorie free. And the flavor of the tomato sauce is unbelievable. I’m making it again this week.
