Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, mix the flour with the salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the sole fillets. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fillets to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chop the toasted walnuts and stir them into the sauce, reserving a few for garnish.
Return the sole fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Plate the fillets, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and the reserved walnuts.
Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or a side of rice.
