Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sole fillets
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Pat the sole fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the flour on a plate and lightly dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the sole fillets in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).
Cook the fillets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and just cooked through. Carefully remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it burn.
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze any browned bits.
Stir in the lemon juice and allow the sauce to cook for 4-5 minutes, reducing slightly.
Return the cooked sole fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to heat the fillets through and allow them to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets and serve immediately, spooning the sauce over each portion. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
