Prepare the Aromatics:
Start by halving the garlic clove. Finely chop the sage, myrtle, and rosemary leaves, setting them aside for later use. -
Cook the Fillets:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the halved garlic and the finely chopped herbs to the pan. Let them sizzle and release their aromas for a minute or two.

Add the Honey:
Pour the honey into the pan and stir gently to mix with the herbs and garlic. The honey will begin to caramelize slightly, creating a sweet and fragrant base for the sole fillets. -
Cook the Sole:
Place the sole fillets in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. If the fillets seem dry, add a ladle of vegetable broth to the pan to keep them moist and tender. -
Season and Garnish:
Once the sole fillets are cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Season the fillets with salt to taste, and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the fillets for a burst of color and freshness. -
Serve Immediately:
Serve the honey and herb-flavored sole fillets immediately, making sure to drizzle any remaining honey and herb sauce from the pan over the fillets for added flavor. Enjoy this delightful dish with your favorite sides!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of vegetable and chicken broth instead of just vegetable broth.
- Pair the dish with a light salad or some steamed vegetables to create a well-balanced meal.
- The honey’s sweetness pairs beautifully with the aromatic herbs, creating a delightful contrast with the mild flavor of the sole.
This Honey and Herb Flavored Sole Fillets recipe is a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors, making it a standout main course for any dinner occasion. With its delicate texture and fragrant herbs, it’s sure to impress your guests while being easy to prepare!
