When you are tired of the usual week night dinners, switch it up with this Atlantic Sole. Quick fried and finished with light lemon caper sauce, it is really good. The fish is easy to find at your grocer, frozen or fresh, so part of your normal shopping list.
Tip : I served this dish with steamed asparagus and a simple salad of baby arugula dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper.
