Natasha Sideris' sole meunière
French 10 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Using paper towels, pat dry the cleaned and skinned sole fillets. Season the flour with the salt and pepper. Dust the fish with the seasoned flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat.
- Fry the sole for 2-3 minutes on each side and fi nish off in the oven if the sole is particularly thick, to ensure it is cooked through.
- To make the lemon butter sauce, toast the flaked almonds over a medium-high heat in a dry frying pan. The slivers burn easily, so keep an eye on them and give them a good shake for an even colour.
- Chop the parsley and set aside.
- Heat another saucepan over a high heat. Juice the lemon and add 8 tbsp of lemon juice, then stir in the caper berries and toasted almonds. Reduce the heat and add the butter and parsley.
- Plate the sole fillets and dress with the lemon butter sauce.
- Serve with boiled potatoes, a green salad and lemon wedges.
