Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sole

    Rinse the Dover sole fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Brown the Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sole

    Add the seasoned Dover sole fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Lemon and Capers

    Reduce the heat to low, then add the lemon juice and capers to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute to heat through, spooning the sauce over the fish.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, drizzling the brown butter sauce over the fish.
