Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 sole fillets (3 to 4 ounces each)
16 very thin lemon slices (from 1 to 2 lemons), seeds removed
Juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons)
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Place wine in a large, lidded skillet. Fold each sole fillet into thirds. Arrange in skillet; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Lay two overlapping lemon slices on each piece of fish.
  • Bring wine to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer gently until fish is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. With a spatula, transfer fish to serving plates.
  • Return liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Add lemon juice; remove from heat. Whisk in butter until smooth. Season with salt; strain, if desired. Serve with fish; garnish with fresh herbs and pepper, if desired.
