Instructions:

1. Season the Dover sole fillets and prawns generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

8. Return the cooked Dover sole fillets and prawns back to the skillet, and add lemon juice. Gently swirl the skillet to combine the flavors and coat the fish and prawns.
9. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the fish and prawns, and cook for an additional minute.
