Baked Dover Sole Rollatini are fish fillets, filled with Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and Parmigiano cheese, rolled & baked in a lemon-wine sauce!

I recently made Baked Dover Sole Rollatini for my husband and I for dinner.  It was absolutely fantastic! Dover sole fillets are filled with Italian herb-seasoned breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and Parmigiano cheese, then rolled and baked atop a lemon-wine sauce. DELICIOUS!

The fish doesn’t taste “fishy”, light in texture, and is seasoned very well. I got the Dover Sole fillets at Trader Joe’s, and was thrilled that I got a package of 5 small thin fillets (frozen) for only $4.54. That is much cheaper than a burger at some fast food joints! The recipe (which I found on Pinterest), is from famed Italian chef and author Lidia Bastianich, and I found it to be EASY and DELICIOUS! Here’s how to make it:

How To Make Dover Sole Rollatini

First, make the filling by mixing the breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, fresh Italian parsley, and oregano together in a small bowl. Add 4 Tablespoons of olive oil and mix breadcrumbs until all the ingredients are coated.

Bread crumbs, lemon zest, and spices in mixing bowl

In a baking dish (preferably 9×13), rub softened butter over bottom of dish.  Place the thin slices from HALF of the lemon into the bottom of dish in a single layer. Juice the OTHER HALF of the lemon, and add lemon juice and white wine to baking dish.

Spread out the sole fillets onto a work surface.

Evenly divide and spread the seasoned bread crumb mixture onto top of fillets, covering surface.  Press the crumbs down into the fish just a bit, so they will adhere better. NOTE: Reserve a bit of the crumbs to garnish the top of the fish before baking.

Roll each fillet up, starting with the short end. Once rolled, secure the rolls with a toothpick inserted from top to bottom at an angle. This will hold it together while baking!

After securing the rolls with a toothpick in each one (top to bottom), gently place the rolls into the baking dish on top of the lemon wedges.  Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs onto tops of fish.

Bake The Dover Sole Rollatini

Add the capers to the baking dish in the “open” spaces.  Drizzle the tops of each dover sole rollatini with olive oil.  Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

Time To Serve This Dish

Once fish is cooked through, remove dish from oven. REMEMBER TO REMOVE TOOTHPICKS!  Because the fillets, once rolled, are small, we each had two pieces. Carefully lift each piece of dove sole out of the baking dish and onto individual serving plates using a spatula.

  1. Hi there,

    I used your recipe and I found the sauce a bit sour. I loved the breadcrumb/Parmesan filling, that was amazing. Do you suggest adding any cream to the sauce or would that burn? Thanks.

    • Good morning, Christy! You know, I really can’t answer to how this recipe would taste adding cream to the sauce. Never have tried it, so I’m not so sure about that one. I’ve made this recipe many times, and if I were to offer you a suggestion it would be to cut down the amount of lemon zest you add to the bread crumb topping (maybe only use the zest from HALF the lemon), and then perhaps you would want to slightly decrease the amount of lemon juice that you add with the wine to the baking dish before cooking? Perhaps that would make it more suitable to your liking? Just a thought. Hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for taking the time to write.
