Day 11, Recipe 11; Meditearrean Sole

Friday has always been a traditional fish & chip day- many restaurants feature fatty, deep fried battered fish with a heaping side of french fries & tartar sauce. I wanted to keep things on the lighter side tonight, and since I still have feta cheese leftover, I wanted to incorporate that into my dish. Easy to prepare, cook in under 20 minutes & was served as a sauce to the greek rice I prepared to accompany the dish!

1 lb            frozen sole fillets
1/4 can       diced tomatoes
3 cloves      garlic, chopped
4 fresh        basil leaves, chopped
                  salt & pepper
1 T             freshly squeezed lemon juice
                  extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice together. Brush half of the mixture onto a deep glass baking dish. Layer sole on top and coat the top in olive oil mixture.
Mix tomatoes, garlic and basil leaves together. Pour over fish, coating evenly.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Mmmm, simply satisfying! Serve over plain long grain rice or greek rice (long grain rice boiled with chicken broth, lemon zest, bay leaves & salt)!
