- 75g pitted black olives, roughly chopped

Method
Slit each sole along the backbone on the white-skinned side. Ease the flesh back to make a pocket.
Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with oil. Place the sole on the baking sheet, cut sides upper most. Season the fish and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Mix the ciabatta crumbs with 20ml Wilson’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the lemon and lime rinds, olives and sundried tomato; season. Spoon the crumbs into the fish pockets.
Drizzle with remaining oil and cook at 200°C for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the sole. Garnish with lemon and lime wedges and thyme, then serve.
