Ingredients:
- 4 (5- to 6-ounce) sole fillets, preferably grey sole
- Kosher salt

Instructions:
- Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 thyme sprig until it becomes brown. Place two sole fillets in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, flipping once, until they turn golden brown, for about 4 minutes. Move the fish to a platter and cover with foil. Repeat the same process with the remaining butter, thyme, and fish.
- Combine the fennel fronds with the celery, parsley, cilantro, and Thai basil leaves in a medium-sized bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
