4.Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat until foaming and golden (2-3 minutes), remove from heat and add parsely, lemon juice and capers. Spoon over sole, scatter with lemon balm leaves and potato, and serve with lemon wedges to the side.

Lemon balm leaves are available from select greengrocers. If unavailable, substitute lemon thyme.
