Dose
- Preparation: 10 minutes
- Cooking: 20 minutes
- Difficulty: Low
- Portions: 2 people
- Cost: Bass
Ingredients
- 400-500 g Sole
- 1 Lemon(untreated)
- 30-35 g Butter
- 1 sprig Parsley
- 1 sprig thyme
- salt
- pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
- Clean the sole by removing the entrails and the skin, then rinse and pat them with kitchen paper. I advise you, if you can, to have them cleaned by your fishmonger, so as not to risk breaking them while removing the skin.
- Arrange the sole on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper greased with a little oil, salt on the surface, and put them to cook in the oven at 180 ° for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size.
- If you don’t want to turn on the oven, you can cook the fish in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt.
- While the sole is cooking, put the butter, the juice of about half a lemon, and a couple of tablespoons of water or vegetable broth in a pan.
- Heat over low heat for a few minutes, stirring with a whisk or spoon, until you get a sort of cream. If you want to thicken a little more, you can add half a teaspoon of cornstarch (or flour).
- When the soles are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish, pour over the lemon sauce, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley and thyme, the grated rind of the lemon, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Your lemon soles are ready, bring them to the hot table, accompanied by a side dish of potatoes or vegetables … enjoy your meal!
