 The combination of flavors in this colorful relish really shines atop a buttery, baked sole filet.  Vibrant and super tart, preserved lemon is a great way to brighten up any dish.  Here, we combine preserved lemon, briny capers and sweet roasted red pepper to form a simple topping that would also be super delicious with a baked pork chop or even seared scallops. This dish is a super easy way to impress.
