Ingredients

• 4 pieces sole fillet
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 piece small shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge each fillet lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 4

Add the fillets to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for another 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the sole fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the fillets to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, rice, or a crusty baguette to soak up the sauce.
