Ingredients

• 4 pieces Petrale sole fillets
• 2 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Shallot, finely minced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the Petrale sole fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a light sprinkle of dried lavender.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering them with foil to keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until golden and softened.

Step 4

Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with 1/2 cup of white wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to reduce by half, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper.

Step 7

Return the cooked Petrale sole fillets to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over each fillet to coat them.

Step 8

Drizzle the dish with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Peppered Petrale Sole with Mushrooms and Lavender immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or wild rice.
