Serves/Makes: 2

Ingredients:

• 2 Petrale sole fillets, about 6 ounce each
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
• Lemon wedges for garnish

How to cook:

• Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fish with salt and a little finely ground black pepper.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium high heat. Add the olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When oil is slightly smoking, add the fish to the pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side, until fish is brown and crispy. Turn the fish over with a spatula and cook another 2 minutes on the other side. Pour lemon juice over the fish and remove from pan. Set aside.
• Add butter and capers to hot pan. Swirl butter until melted, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Without overheating the butter, let the butter develop a light brown coloring to it. Remove from heat and spoon butter sauce and capers over the fish and serve immediately with lemon wedges
