Sole Piccata

1 . Stage

Dredge the fillets in flour: Rinse the fish in cold water and pat them dry. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Then place the flour mixture in a long shallow bowl or dish. Dredge the fillets in the flour so that both sides are lightly coated.

2 . Stage

Fry the fillets until golden: Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large stick-free saute pan. When the oil is hot (add a little pinch of flour to the oil, and if it sizzles immediately, you're ready), work in batches and place the fish fillets in the pan in one layer and fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan if needed.

3 . Stage

Remove the fish to a paper towel-lined plate: Once browned on both sides, remove the fish fillets from the pan, set them on a paper towel-lined plate (or keep them warm in a 200°F oven).

4 . Stage

Deglaze pan with wine: Add the white wine to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5 . Stage

Add the lemon juice and capers: Let the wine boil furiously for a minute or two, until greatly reduced, then add the lemon juice and capers. Boil another minute.

6 . Stage

Swirl in the butter: Turn off the heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, swirling it constantly. When it melts, repeat the process with the other tablespoon of butter.

7 . Stage

Serve: Stir in half of the parsley and pour it over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining parsley. Serve at once. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
