Delicious Petrale sole is actually a member of the flounder family. If you can't find it, lemon sole and flounder are worthy substitutes. Use about six to eight ounces of fish per person to make this light and tasty dish.

Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces Petrale sole
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
- Lemon wedges for garnish
Directions:
Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the fish pieces. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the fish is brown and crispy. Turn the fish over with a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
Pour the lemon juice over the fish and remove from the pan. Set aside. Add the butter and capers to the hot pan. Swirl the butter until melted, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Spoon the butter sauce and capers over the fish and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Arranging the fish on a serving platter, topped with the sauce and garnished with lemon wedges, makes an elegant presentation. Shop for a serving platter.
