Recipe: Paleo Lemon and Herb Broiled Sole

by JJ Virgin on August 18, 2017

This Paleo dish is a winner-winner fish dinner! Sole is low in mercury, and it’s packed with brain-boosting Omega-3s and B vitamins. (That old saying about fish being brain food is totally true…)

Eating Paleo is all about filling your plate with the foods that would have been easily accessible to our ancestors in order to give your over-stressed gut and immune system a break. Whether you’re on a Paleo diet or not, this recipe is a great way to treat your body right.

Best of all, it only takes 15 minutes to make, start to finish! That’s doable even on the busiest weeknight.

Paleo Lemon and Herb Broiled Sole is the first recipe in our Perfect Paleo menu, to be joined by Paleo Steamed Broccoli with Garlic Oil Drizzle; Paleo Spaghetti Squash with Capers, Onions, and Bell Peppers; and the Perfect Paleo Smoothie.
