    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method: Dover Sole with Tarragon
    • Pat Dover sole fillets dry on both sides with paper towels
    • Season fillets lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Set a large nonstick or stainless skillet over medium heat
    • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and allow to heat until shimmering
    • Place 2 Dover sole fillets in the pan, cook for 1.5–2 minutes per side until just opaque, then transfer to a warm plate
    • Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and repeat with remaining 2 fillets; transfer all fish to a warm plate and tent loosely with foil
    • Lower heat to medium-low; add 2 tablespoons butter to the same pan, swirling until melted and foaming
    • Add 2 tablespoons dry white wine to the butter, scraping up any browned bits, bring to a gentle simmer
    • Stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon and the juice of 1/2 lemon, swirling to combine; simmer 15–30 seconds to marry flavors
    • Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed
    • Return the cooked Dover sole fillets to the pan, gently spooning sauce over the fish to coat; warm through for 30 seconds
    • Carefully transfer fillets to serving plates
    • Spoon pan sauce over each fillet, ensuring an even coating of butter, wine, and tarragon
    • Sprinkle each plate with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley just before serving
    • For presentation, serve with a lemon wedge and garnish with an extra sprig of tarragon if desired
    • Serve immediately while warm with your choice of light, seasonal vegetables or new potatoes
