Ingredients
1 whole Dover Sole
2 tbsp cooking oil
Salt, to taste
2-3 tbsp noisette butter
2 tbsp cooking oil
Salt, to taste
2-3 tbsp noisette butter
Method
Heat a frying pan until it's very hot, then reduce to medium-high heat. This ensures even cooking.
Using a large, heavy knife, slice off the head of the Dover Sole. If needed, use a rolling pin to tap the knife gently through the bones.
Rub the fish all over with oil and season generously with salt.
Place the Dover Sole in the hot frying pan and press gently with a spatula to ensure full contact with the pan. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip the fish and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Spoon the noisette butter into the pan, allowing it to melt. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to scoop the melted butter, basting the fish continuously for about a minute.
Remove the Dover Sole from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Spoon some of the remaining butter over the fish for added flavour.
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of fresh greens or crusty bread to soak up the delicious buttery sauce.
