Pan-fried Sole
This is a quick recipe to fry fish and make a delicious meal. Using a nonstick pan and a few tablespoons of olive oil makes this dish more healthy compare to deep frying with other olive types or butter.

Pan-fried Sole
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram fresh sole
- 100 grams flour
- olive or vegetable oil
- sea salt
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Clean and dry the fish carefully. Place the pieces of fish on a plate or clean surface, add sea salt and black pepper based on your preferences and fully cover (all sides) with flour to create a thin layer around the fish.
- Add some olive or vegetable oil on a frying nonstick pan and when it heats add each fish piece (sole) carefully. When one side is cooked (about 5 minutes for a small size fish) carefully turn each piece of fish upside down and let it fry. Tip: When the thin flour level turns gold and crispy the fish should have been cooked.
- Remove the fish from the frying pan and serve with lemon. Tip: combine with a salad and some white wine.
Notes
Like this you can fry any small size fish (such as sardines, red mullet).
