Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sole fillets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each sole fillet lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.
When the butter has melted and starts to foam, add the sole fillets to the skillet. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fillets to a platter and keep warm.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then return it to medium heat. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and turn a light golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and squeeze the juice of one lemon into the browned butter. Stir to combine.
Pour the lemon-brown butter sauce over the cooked sole fillets.
Sprinkle the fillets with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
