Sole and other white flatfishes yield fillets that are quite thin. By the time you have seared them on both sides, they will be nearly done. I cannot imagine putting them into a 350 degree oven for more than a couple of minutes, or they will be overcooked. The fillets are so thin I don't know how you'd ut a thermometer into them to test the temp. However, if your fish "flakes easily," it's probably overcooked.

Cook it until it reaches *YOUR* desired doneness. From a food safety standpoint, it doesn't matter; high quality fresh Dover sole -- like most other flatfish -- can be consumed raw (like sashimi).
Personally I abhor undercooked white-fleshed fish, a popular practice in the USA (and not common in Japan).
One can't use time as a measurement since it has already been browned on a stovetop, stove temperatures are different, the fish filet sizes are different, etc.
So just cook it the way you want. If you like it medium-rare (not fully cooked through), go for it. In the end, it's about you putting food you are happy to serve and eat on your dinner table.
Best of luck.
