Steps:

• Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Put flour on a dinner plate or other flat dish. In a medium-size skillet set over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place fillets into milk. Remove one; dredge both sides in flour. Tap off excess flour, and place fish into the hot oil. Season each side with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Repeat with the remaining fillet. Cook fish until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving plate.
• Wipe pan, and return to medium heat. Add butter; cook until melted and starting to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in capers; cook until butter is golden brown. Remove from heat. Squeeze lemon juice over fish. Top with hot butter and capers. Garnish with parsley.

• Add the fillets to the pan and saute until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer each fillet to a warmed serving plate.
• Wipe the pan clean and place over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted and starting to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the capers. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready
• Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan. Carefully put the fish filets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they're done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.
