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

Directions

Step 1

Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Dredge each sole fillet lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat, and squeeze the juice of one lemon into the browned butter. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour the lemon-brown butter sauce over the cooked sole fillets.

Step 9

Sprinkle the fillets with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
