Mix Zucchini Carmalade with cream cheese.
Wrap sole around a good portion of the above mixture and place it in a baking dish.
Add potatoes chips crushed on top. (We use Hawaiian onion chips)
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes. I covered in foil when the chips started browning.

Once this has cooled we call it VEGGIE MARMELADE or Zucchini Carmalade. This is the secret ingredient in our meatballs and meatloaf. A great flavor booster for soups and braises or stuffed fish!
