    • Step-by-Step Method for Cornish Sole with Ginger-Lime Sauce
    • Pat Cornish sole fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper
    • Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil
    • Once oil is hot, add 2 fillets to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden and just cooked through
    • Transfer cooked fillets to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm
    • Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining 2 fillets
    • Wipe the skillet if needed, then melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat
    • Add 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned
    • Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, mixing well to combine
    • Simmer sauce for about 1 minute to slightly thicken, then remove from heat
    • Taste the sauce, adjusting salt and pepper to taste
    • Return cooked fillets to the skillet just to coat them lightly with the sauce or spoon sauce over fillets on a serving plate
    • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro evenly over the plated fillets
    • For plating, arrange fillets on a warm plate, spoon over the ginger-lime sauce, and garnish with extra cilantro if desired
    • Serve immediately, optionally with steamed jasmine rice or sautéed greens on the side
