Steps:

• Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Put the flour on a plate or a pie pan and press each filet lightly into the flour on both sides.
• Put 4 tablespoons of the butter into a large skillet over medium high heat. When the butter is melted and foamy, add the filets and cook for 2 minutes.
• Using a fish spatula or other large spatula, carefully turn the filets over. Don't use tongs - sole filets are delicate and need to be turned with a spatula. Cook for another 2 minutes and place each one on a serving plate. Cover with foil to keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Add the rest of the butter to the skillet, along with the lemon juice and half the parsley. Whisk until the butter is melted.
• Drizzle the sauce generously over the filets, sprinkle on the capers and the rest of the parsley, add the lemon slices as a pretty garnish and serve!
