Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Clean the Dover Sole

    Rinse the whole Dover sole under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

    Drizzle olive oil over the fish, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the fish.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from skillet and keep warm.

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse under cold water.

    Cook the Asparagus

    Add the asparagus to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
