Fish is one of those things that everyone wants to eat more of but is reluctant to cook at home.
These are easy recipes that you and your guests will love. Since fish is so popular, we’ve decided to address those swimming sources of protein in a 3 part series.
PART 1 of 3
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 4 sole fillets
- 1 c milk

- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 c fresh parsley finely chopped

- Remove the fillets and pat them dry just so that they aren’t dripping

- Dredge each fillet in flour
- Sauté in hot oil 2 min each side. Make sure that the oil is hot first otherwise they sit in the oil and soak it up rather than turning crispy
- Remove the fish when it’s crisp on the outside and shake off excess oil
- Place the fillets on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven
- In the same pan add the butter
- Shake the pan around so the butter doesn’t scorch
