  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 90 oz sole fillets (18 x 5 oz)
  • 1 qt cream of mushroom soup (undilluted)
  • 1½ cups sharp cheese (Asiago, Canadian Cheddar, Manchego, Parmesan, or Romano)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp Filling

  • Sauté 3/4 cup drained mushrooms in 2 oz of butter.
  • Add 2 cups cooked small shrimp.
  • Season with 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped onion.

Step 2: Fill and Roll the Sole

  • Lay out 18 sole fillets.
  • Spread a spoonful of shrimp mixture on each.
  • Roll the fillets tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Step 3: Assemble the Dish

  • Place rolled fillets in a large shallow baking pan.
  • Pour 1 quart undiluted cream of mushroom soup evenly over fillets.
  • Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheese.

Step 4: Bake

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips

  • Substitute cod or haddock for sole if unavailable.
  • Add a splash of dry white wine to the mushroom soup for richer flavor.
  • For a lighter option, use low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduced-fat cheese.
  • Add a sprinkle of paprika or parsley for color before baking.
  • Prepare ahead: roll and refrigerate the fillets, then bake just before serving.
