By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Eight 3-ounce sole fillets
• 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup drained capers
• 1 small lemon, sliced paper-thin

Preparation

Step 1

Put the flour in a pie plate; season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour, tapping off the excess; transfer to a plate.

2
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add half of the fillets and cook over high heat, turning once, until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter, cover with foil and keep warm. Repeat with another 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil and the remaining fish.

3
Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and the almonds to the skillet. Cook over high heat, stirring, until golden, 2 minutes. Add the capers and lemon slices and cook until heated through, 1 minute longer. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.
