Step 1

Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Put the flour on a plate or a pie pan and press each filet lightly into the flour on both sides.

Step 3

Put 4 tablespoons of the butter into a large skillet over medium high heat. When the butter is melted and foamy, add the filets and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Using a fish spatula or other large spatula, carefully turn the filets over. Don’t use tongs – sole filets are delicate and need to be turned with a spatula.  Cook for another 2 minutes and place each one on a serving plate.  Cover with foil to keep warm while you make the sauce.

Step 5

Add the rest of the butter to the skillet, along with the lemon juice and half the parsley. Whisk until the butter is melted.

Step 6

Drizzle the sauce generously over the filets, sprinkle on the capers and the rest of the parsley, add the lemon slices as a pretty garnish and serve!
