I do like a Dover Sole and when I saw a bunch on sale from my frozen supplier, I got some in and decided to try it this way. It's nice and herby with the classic combo of parsley and oregano in the Chimichurri augmented with some fish-friendly dill.

Ingredients

Fish

  • 2 whole Dover Sole, gutted and skinned
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Pinch of salt for seasoning
Chimichurri Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp dried chili flakes to taste
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • pinch black pepper
Method
  1. In a small bowl, mix all your sauce ingredients and let it stand for an hour or so for the flavours to mingle.
  2. Heat your grill (broiler) and lay some foil on a sheet pan. Spray or brush it with some oil.
  3. Brush the fish on both sides with the melted butter and season lightly with salt.
  4. Grill it for 5 minutes, flip it over with a slice, brush with more butter and grill for a further 5 minutes.
  5. Plate the fish, and brush some more butter on it.
  6. Spread the sauce over the fish and serve.

Get everything together. The sauce should be made a couple of hours (or even a day) earlier.

Mix the sauce ingredients. It's really quick to make. I could probably have gone for a bit less oil to herb ratio. Will experiment.

Our soles, ready for grilling. I'm a bit of an inept fishmonger TBH and really should sharpen my knives more. I made a bit of a bodge skinning the bottom one and its tail fell off...
