ISO: ISO a nice recipe for dover sole can anyone help

In Search Of:
Thanks Meryl! Geez, just found it at W-S. I thought

perhaps it was exclusive to the book I borrowed from the library. Ah, this is much more readable. You know EPI botched it up so much that 1/4 cup of lemon juice was indicated by < cup!!

Edited to add my butchered Notes:

My notes: This recipe was very easy. The only deviation that I made to this recipe was that I halved it (three 8-oz. deboned fillets) and used what I could find, lemon sole and Lurpaks (Danish) slightly salted butter. After asking, the good fishmonger deboned the sole and gave me a small bag of ice to keep the fish cold as I did some errands on the way back. This recipe tasted just like the fillets of sole dinners I had in Portugal many years ago. I cooked the fish in my new 11 heavy-duty fry pan (about time). Since my fillets were rather thick, I cooked them until somewhat golden-browned as per the recipe and they came out perfect. I would suggest increasing the butter-lemon sauce to use as needed. Although the fillets did not turn out to be the prettiest, they were indeed...... VERY tasty!!!

Here's one from my files to check out: Almond-Crusted Fillet Of Sole

ALMOND-CRUSTED FILLET OF SOLE

INGREDIENTS:

4 to 6 sole fillets (6 ounces each)
2 cups finely ground almonds (not almond flour), or 1 cup finely ground and 1 cup roughly chopped sliced almonds
6 large egg yolks
Salt and ground black pepper
8 tablespoons unsalted butter

Garnish:
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Lemon wedges

Steamed potatoes, for serving, optional

*Green Chili Milk Sauce, for serving, optional *(see recipe below).

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut fish lengthwise into 2-inch-wide strips, then into pieces about 6 inches long. Spread almonds on a plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat oven to 225 degrees.

2. Whisk egg yolks well and season with salt and pepper. One at a time, dip fish into egg yolks, then roll in almonds until well coated. Transfer to paper-lined pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Working in batches, and adding butter to pan between batches, cook fish until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to ovenproof platter and place in oven.

4. Just before serving, scrape out pan to remove burned bits. Add 2 tablespoons butter to pan, melt until foamy, and drizzle over fish. Garnish with lemon and parsley. Serve with potatoes and sauce, if using.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
