Instructions

1
Preheat. Set the air fryer or toaster oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a small baking tray, air-fryer pan, or piece of foil.
2
Dry and season. Pat the sole very dry. Place skin-side down if the skin is attached. Brush with melted butter or olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic.
3
Cook. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, or bake in the toaster oven for 7–10 minutes. Do not flip. Very thin fillets may be ready sooner.
4
Check doneness. The fish should be opaque, flake easily, and reach about 140–145°F in the thickest part. Remove promptly because sole dries quickly.
5
Finish. Squeeze lemon over the fish. Add parsley, capers, and a small pat of butter. Serve immediately.
