Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillets
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each fillet lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Cook the fillets in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer cooked fillets to a plate and keep warm.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining butter.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice, fresh dill, and lemon zest. Cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 9

Lower the heat further and whisk in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to gently simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Return the cooked sole fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets to coat.

Step 12

Serve immediately with the sauce drizzled on top, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
