4 servings
- 4 sole fillets (about 5–6 oz each), skin removed
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - 4 tbsp clarified butter or ghee, divided
For the sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
For serving
- lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- 1
Pat the sole fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess so only a thin, even coating remains.

Heat 2 tbsp of the clarified butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter shimmers and a pinch of flour dropped in sizzles immediately. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add 2 fillets and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, until the underside is golden and the edges are opaque. Flip carefully and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily when pressed with a fork. Transfer to a warm plate and tent loosely with foil. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining 2 tbsp clarified butter and 2 fillets.
