  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • 2 tablespoons [30 g] butter
  • 3 tablespoons [45 mL] thinly sliced almonds

  • Stir in cornstarch.
  • Well mix in lemon juice and rind.
  • Dip each sole fillet into lemon juice mixture; then roll fillets.
  • Arrange sole rolls, side-by-side in prepared glass or ceramic dish.
  • Sprinkle all over with pepper and paprika.
  • Cover dish with waxed paper or a lid.
  • Microwave for 6 minutes on 'MAXIMUM'.
  • Leave to rest for 3 minutes.
  • Salt to taste.
  • In a small bowl, mix together remaining 2 tablespoons [30 g] butter and thinly sliced almonds.
  • Brown for 2 minutes on 'MAXIMUM'; stir.
  • If needed, microwave almonds for 30 seconds more, stirring, until golden brown.
  • It is possible to microwave almonds for a third time, but it is necessary to stir almonds often as they can get too dark really fast [they should just be of a nice golden color].
  • Garnish hot fish with golden almonds; serve.
