1
Season the Fish
Sprinkle both sides of the Dover sole fillets with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
2
Dredge in Flour
Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
4
Cook the Fish
Add the dredged Dover sole fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a warm plate.
5
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the fresh lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.

6
Plate the Dish
Place the cooked Dover sole fillets on serving plates and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the fillets for garnish before serving.
