Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil)

  • Garlic salt and ground pepper (can use lemon pepper instead of regular pepper)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or as needed for four fillets)
  • 6 garlic cloves, large (whole cloves, outer skin removed then sliced into thirds)
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1 cup white wine, dry
  • 2 whole lemons (juice from one lemon, then slice the other in four wedges to serve at the table)
  • 3 tablespoons capers (in brine, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter into a large skillet; set over medium heat.

  • Step 2: Season the fish fillets on both sides with garlic salt and pepper (or lemon pepper).

  • Step 3: Place the flour in a shallow bowl.

  • Step 4: Lightly dredge the sole in flour, tapping off any excess.

  • Step 5: Place in the hot skillet; brown the fish on both sides, about 3 minutes per side (cooking time will be different, it will depend on the thickness of the fish that you use, the worst thing you can do is overcook fish, so watch closely not to overcook!).

  • Step 6: Once the fish is cooked all the way through, transfer to a large serving platter while you make the sauce.

  • Step 7: For sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high. Place the garlic and pine nuts in the skillet. Cook and toss until the pine nuts are toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and juice from one lemon. Bring to a boil, then add in the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk to melt the butter and boil the sauce until reduced by half, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and ground pepper. Remove the garlic clove slices from the sauce, and then stir in the parsley.

  • Step 8: Pour the sauce over the fish, then serve with lemon wedges.
