Ingredients

• 4 sole fillets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sole fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Slice the bananas into thin rounds and add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas start to soften.
4. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the bananas. Stir gently to coat the bananas evenly with the sugar mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas are caramelized and golden.
5. Return the cooked sole fillets to the skillet with the caramelized bananas. Gently toss them together to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the fillets are heated through.
6. Serve the pan-fried sole with caramelized bananas on a platter or individual plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
