    Ingredients

    • 2 Dover sole fillets
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
    • Lemon wedges, for serving

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method for Dover Sole with Tomatoes and Olives
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F), or prepare a sauté pan for stovetop if not baking
    • Pat Dover sole fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper
    • Place cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives into a bowl, drizzle with half (1 tbsp) olive oil, add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes; toss to coat evenly
    • Lay Dover sole fillets on a lightly oiled baking dish or on a plate if pan-cooking
    • If baking: scatter the seasoned tomato-olive mixture evenly around and over the fillets; drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over fish
    • If sautéing: heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat; add fish fillets and cook 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and just cooked through; transfer to plate, add remaining oil and tomato-olive mixture to pan, sauté 2-3 min until tomatoes soften
    • For both methods: after tomatoes soften and flavors meld, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley evenly across the dish
    • Squeeze lemon wedges over the plated fish just before serving for brightness
    • For an elegant presentation: place fillet in the center of a plate, arrange tomato-olive mixture artfully around, finish with a scattering of parsley and a lemon wedge on the side
