Cooking Instructions

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
