Method

Dover Sole Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Pat the Dover sole fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Flour

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Pan-Roast the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add the unsalted butter to the pan. Baste the fillets with the melted butter for added flavor.

Amandine Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Toast the Almonds

    In a small skillet, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat until they are golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the toasted almonds with lemon juice and chopped flat-leaf parsley.

Meunière Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the juice of the whole lemon and capers. Stir well to combine.
