A fresh take on fish!

Enjoy this recipe! Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish and the tanginess of the lemon dill sauce cuts through the richness nicely.

Dover Sole Pan-Seared with Lemon Butter Sauce

Dover Sole Pan-Seared with Lemon Butter Sauce | Erica Robbin

So delicate and satisfying.

The RL Restaurant-Chicago is one of my favorite restaurants. From the ambiance to the menu. It’s a relaxed, yet polished, club-like atmosphere, consistent with the Ralph Lauren brand. And when I say club, it’s more like leveled-up country club, not a dance club.

They serve so many delicious menu items, my favorites being the lobster bisque and the Dover Sole which is pan-seared and served with a Myer lemon butter sauce. It’s so good!

So here is my attempt to make something like it, at least something reminiscent to enjoy at home.
