Lindsey Qualman February 27, 2023
Our locally-caught petrale sole is a delicate and flavorful fish that pairs well with lemon butter caper sauce. Here's a simple and delicious recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 4 Petrale sole fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
-
Rinse the petrale sole fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
-
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
-
Stir in the capers and parsley, and cook for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
-
Return the fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for another minute or until the fish is heated through.
-
Serve hot with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread.
