Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, sliced almonds, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
Dip each sole fillet into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press both sides into the almond mixture to coat.
Heat the unsalted butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the crusted sole fillets to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, juice the lemon and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the fish with lemon juice and parsley before serving.
