ingredients

  • 1 Dover Sole, skinned
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turkish red pepper flakes (pul biber)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 lemon

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 2

    Place the flour in a large, flat plate. Lightly dust the fish in the flour on both sides, patting off any excess flour.

  • Step 3

    Fry the fish in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp and the internal temperature reaches 60ºC.

  • Step 4

    Transfer fish to a large serving plate, then return the pan to the heat and add the butter. Once it has melted, add the pul biber, and 3/4 of the fresh parsley.

  • Step 5

    Pour the butter sauce over the fish and sprinkle with a pinch of coarsely ground black pepper, flakey sea salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and remaining fresh parsley.
