Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and scale the whole Dover Sole. Pat it dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the fish in the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Finish in the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). After sautéing, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the lemon juice and capers, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve the Fish

    Remove the fish from the oven and carefully fillet it at the table. Drizzle the lemon butter caper sauce over the fillets and serve immediately.
