Pan-Sauteed Sole

Pan-Sauteed Sole

To saute fish, cook it rapidly with a little fat and a few basic ingredients in a pan over relatively high heat. This method showcases the fish's delicate texture. You can use the pan drippings to create a quick sauce. Cook the fish at the last minute; serve it with steamed new potatoes and sauteed spinach.

  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 10 minutes
  • Yield Serves 2

Ingredients

    • 2 fish fillets, such as lemon sole
    • Salt
    • Wondra flour, for dusting
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
    • 5 thin lemon slices

Directions

  1. Season fish fillets with salt; dust with Wondra flour. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add fish. Cook for 1 minute. Flip, add lemon slices, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes more until opaque.

Cook's Note

We used lemon sole, a flaky, mild-tasting white fish. At the market, look for flat fish such as sole or flounder; Pacific-caught are the most sustainable. Tilapia works well, too.
