Pan Fried Sole Fish Fillet Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
Sole is a very mild tasting and tender fish. Sole fish fillets are very thin, so they flake and break very easily. When cooking sole, you should remember 2 things:
- Prevent sticking
If the sole fish fillet sticks to your frying pan, it will completely fall apart when you try to remove it. So make sure you use a good non-stick pan, and add some oil to it as an extra precaution against sticking. - Prevent overcooking
Because the sole fish fillet is so thing, it cooks really quickly – literally a minute on each side! If you overcook it, it will fall apart, so don’t walk away from the frying pan while cooking the sole fish :)
