Lemon sole is an oval flatfish with a small head and a smooth, speckled orange-brown skin, found on firm sea beds around the British coast. Despite the name it is not a true sole, and it has no lemon taste.
Its flesh is soft, delicate and mildly sweet, so it suits gentle, quick cooking. Lemon sole is a sensible choice for anyone who wants a light, approachable fish that cooks in minutes, and a whole fish makes a satisfying single serving with very little preparation.

Grill whole fish dark side up and do not turn them: the thin flesh cooks through from one side in a few minutes.
