Greek Lemon-Butter Roasted Dover Sole

My Greek Lemon-Butter Dover Sole recipe is low-carb, delicious, a rich source of essential fatty acids, protein, minerals and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, E and D, and almost zero fat. The most effective way to satiate yourself is to eat more protein and some healthy fats, helping you crush your sweet cravings. Added olive oil, fresh lemon juice and butter make a savory, rich sauce. Your gut and brain speak to each other all day long and the two hormones, ghrelin and leptin (your hunger and satiety hormones), are often out of balance when eating a high-carb diet. Serving suggestions are offered.
