Because they are reduced, you&#8217;re eating far more than you think.<\/p>\n<p>Dover sole is the best fish to use for this recipe because it comes in flat boneless pieces and has the right firmness with a mild flavor. It is also wild caught, inexpensive, and fairly easy to find. Technically, it&#8217;s not Dover sole, but that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s labelled. I get it fresh at Costco and you can find it frozen at Trader Joe&#8217;s too.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t feel you need to follow this recipe exactly.

Yeah, real helpful&#8230;try 350*F for about 45 mins. But keep checking the fish.
