Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 4 sole fillets, 1/2 in thick
• 3 teaspoons butter
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon fine flour
• lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons capers

Recipe

• 1 season the fish with salt and pepper and turn in flour, shaking off excess.
• 2 heat 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil in a pan until the butter foam begins to subside.
• 3 lay in the fillets and sauté for about a minute on each side, just until the fish begins to take on a light springiness to the touch. -do not overcook; if the fish flakes, it is overdone.
• 4 remove to a hot platter and sprinkle a tablespoon of minced fresh parsley over the fish.
• 5 rapidly wipe the pan clean with paper towels (so the flour residue will not speckle the butter to come – or use a fresh pan).
• 6 heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the pan, swishing it about and letting it brown lightly. remove the pan from heat, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, and capers before spooning the hot butter over the fish.
