Ingredients

Units Scale

Sole Fillets

  • 4 sole fillets (about 5–6 oz each)

For Dredging

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Cooking

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For Serving

  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sole: Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in flour.
  2. Cook the Sole: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet. Cook the fillets until golden and cooked through.
  3. Make the Lemon-Butter Sauce: Melt remaining butter until lightly browned. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
  4. Serve: Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • This classic French dish pairs well with sides like steamed green beans, baby potatoes, or a light salad.
  • Ensure not to overcook the fish; it should be just opaque and flake easily.
