Panko Crusted Sole

It's a Monday and I shouldn't be this tired so early in the week. But with cold and flu season upon us, I feel like I might be fighting something off. That being said, when I arrived home from work I was absolutely exhausted but hungry for some kind of comfort food.

So I went to the freezer to see what was what and remembered I had purchased a tray of beautiful fresh sole at the fish market over the weekend.

Perfect!

But how to prepare it?

Did I want it stuffed with shrimp and covered in a luscious cream sauce?

Mmmm... sounded good - but I didn't have the right ingredients on hand to pull it off.

So what did I have?

After a nice forage into my pantry I came away victorious with a box of panko breadcrumbs and a container of Emeril's Creole Seasoning I'd mixed together over the weekend. (truly a kitchen staple - his spice blend is good on just about everything)



The perfect combination for a crunchy and comforting fish bake!
