Method

  1. Skin and scale the sole following the step by step guide. Season the skinned side with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a large non-stick ovenproof frying pan, add the clarified butter followed by the sole, skinned-side down. Let the sole form a golden crust rather than move it around. After 3-4 minutes, once the crust is golden, turn it over and put it, pan and all, into a hot oven for a further 8-10 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the pan from the oven, being careful to protect your hands with oven gloves.
  3. Heat another pan and add the unsalted butter. Cook until the butter turns a nutty brown then add the lemon segments and parsley to the pan. Stir then spoon this over the fish and serve with buttered potatoes.
