PREPARATION

- Meanwhile, in a wide flat plate or baking dish, combine almond meal, dried herbs / spices and salt & pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wide heavy skillet.
- Dip one fillet at a time into the almond meal mixture, pressing down so that it sticks to all sides, then lay into the hot skillet.
- Fry for about 4 minutes on medium-high, until the almond meal on the bottom has turned a golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Transfer fish fillets to plates, then throw capers into the same hot pan and move around with a spatula while they get warm.
- Sprinkle a spoonful of capers on each plate, over the fish fillets, then serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
SUGGESTIONS
- Dover Sole is a great substitute for Petrale Sole if it is not available.
- If you can not find almond meal, you can make your own by pulsing raw dry almonds in the food processor for about a minute.
