Southwold Dover Sole
Serves 2
How to make
Dust sole in seasoned flour. Heat large frying pan until hot, drizzle over the oil and fry on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Keep warm.
In another pan, melt the butter. Add the shallots until they are soft and translucent, and the butter is a nutty brown colour.
Add the lemon juice. Take care as the butter will spit.
Drain the shallots in a fine sieve. Set over a bowl and use the back of a spoon to squeeze any butter from the shallots.
Preserve the buttery juices and discard the shallots.
Stir the capers, parsley and shrimps into the butter and season with salt & pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon the sauce over the sole. Top with a little parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
