Ingredients

• 4 sole fillets
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sole fillets by patting them dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each sole fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted and the mixture is hot, add the sole fillets to the skillet in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and keep warm on a plate covered with foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.

Step 6

Once the butter has melted and starts to turn golden brown, add the sliced almonds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the almonds are toasted and fragrant.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice to the skillet and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Return the cooked sole fillets to the skillet briefly to warm them in the almond butter sauce.

Step 9

Plate the sole fillets on serving plates, spooning the almond butter sauce and toasted almonds over each fillet.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
