Sole Mozzarella

To prepare this Italian specialty with a fraction of the usual saturated fat and cholesterol, just use egg substitute and low-fat mozzarella cheese. It’s as simple as that.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces fish per serving

Ingredients

3/4 cup egg substitute
3/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
4 mild thin fish fillets, such as sole (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
Cooking spray
12 ounces canned no-salt-added tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crumbled
1/3 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley (Italian, or flat-leaf, preferred)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the egg substitute into a shallow medium bowl. Put the bread crumbs on a plate. Cut a piece of wax paper about 12 inches long. Set the bowl, plate, and wax paper in a row assembly-line fashion.

    Step 2

    Dip one piece of fish in the egg substitute, turning to coat. Dip in the bread crumbs, turning to coat and shaking off any excess. Put the fish on the wax paper. Repeat with the remaining fish.

    Step 3

    Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Place the fish in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes. Turn over. Cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.

    Step 4

    In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pour over the fish. Cook, covered, for 2 minutes.

    Step 5

    Sprinkle with the mozzarella and cook, covered, for 2 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with the parsley.
