I stumbled upon this recipe while I was browsing online looking for new fish dishes to cook. This recipe caught my attention because of its few and easy to find ingredients and the simple way it is prepared. I rarely cook sole but after trying this recipe, it will definitely be in my list of favorite fish to cook. The sole pieces were first dip in egg, coated with flour and then pan-fried. Butter, parsley and capers were added while the fish was cooking creating a flavorful and buttery sauce. Finally, a squeeze of lemon over the delicate fish completes the dish; a delicious meal you will surely enjoy. 😀

- ⅓ cup flour
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
