Pan Fried Sole is one of my favorite fish recipes! It's beyond simple, only a few ingredients. The flavors are so delicate and it's so versatile and you can serve it alongside pretty much every side dish.

Ingredients

  • ▢ 4 6-ounce skinless sole fillets
  • ▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ▢ ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ▢ ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • ▢ 1 lemon cut into wedges, for serving
  • ▢ parsley to garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the sole filets with salt and pepper, then dust with flour on both sides, shaking off any excess flour.In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add the fish.Cook the fish, turning once with two wide spatulas, until golden-brown, about 3 minutes on each side. If one side gets too dark, reduce the heat to medium. Transfer the fish to a plate, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
