Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sole fillets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon slices (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
Dredge each sole fillet lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 5
When the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the sole fillets in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Do this in batches if necessary, and transfer cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the lemon juice and capers.
Step 7
Return the cooked sole fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon-caper sauce over them. Allow them to warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the sole fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
