Sole Piccata is a good example of a light and tasty seafood dish that is easy to prepare. When my father made sole (or chicken) piccata at his restaurant he didn’t typically put capers in it, but many chefs do. I am a big caper fan, especially with fish, so I like to include them here. For me the key to this is sautéing the sole until it is nice and golden brown before letting it cook in the lemony sauce for a few minutes.

Can you list the lemon quantity in tablespoons or as a proportion of the butter and wine instead? I used two lemons which unfortunately yielded enough juice to completely ruin what was shaping up to be an amazing dish!
