Ingredients

  • 4 (4-ounce) sole filets
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves

Method

  • Season fish with salt and pepper and dredge in flour to coat, shaking off excess.
  • In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and cook fish 3 minutes each side, or until just cooked through.
  • Reduce heat to moderately low.
  • Cut remaining butter into pieces and add to skillet.
  • Simmer butter until golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and immediately add lemon juice, salt, parsley, and pepper to taste, swirling skillet to incorporate (butter will foam).
  • Serve sole filets with butter.
