Dover Sole with Herb Oil and Zucchini

The delicate flavor of white-fleshed fish, for me, is best when cooked simply. In fact, the most important thing is seasoning the fish properly and making sure not to overcook it, which is a good reason to salt it an hour before you want to cook and why it makes sense to finish cooking or re-warming the fish in the oven.
