Ready in just 20 minutes, this simple yet elegant dish is ideal for busy weeknights or a special weekend meal. Serve it alongside steamed veggies or a crisp salad for a light and satisfying feast.
Rinse the sole or flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Dredge each fish fillet in the seasoned flour, coating it evenly on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Place the fillets in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the fillets with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
