I cook mine in the fan oven at 180 for 10-12 minutes approximately, brown skin side down with butter, lemon slices and a little white wine. I serve it on the plate with the skin side down and it’s easy to fillet. This has always been successful.
First time Ive cooked whole Cornish Dover sole. Googled how to prepare and was a little daunted by the thought of skinning a fish however it really was easy peasy! Husband was sceptical and shrivelled his nose when I said I was cooking Dover sole. At the end of the meal however he said it was fantastic and he was converted. Lightly floured and pan fried in butter with capers. Served with samphire and Picards potato gratin bought on Ocado.
It smelled horrible when cooked and it lingered in the house for days. I opened windows and used scented candles, my husband still thinks there is a smell there.
