Method

1. For the vinaigrette: place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine.

2. For the olive-crushed potatoes: slice the cooked potatoes and gently heat in a pan with just enough of the olive oil vinaigrette for the potatoes to absorb it without becoming greasy. As you are warming your potatoes lightly crush them with a fork.

3. Add the black olives and chives to the crushed potatoes. Season to taste.

4. For the sauce vierge: put the shallots, tomatoes and olive oil in a saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and gently heat for 2 minutes. Keep warm. Add the lemon juice, capers and chopped herbs before serving.

5. For the lemon sole: heat a frying pan with a little olive oil.

6. Season the sole fillets then add to the pan. Fry for a 1 - 2 minutes on each side or until cooked. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

7. To serve, put a metal ring in the middle of a shallow serving bowl and spoon one quarter of the olive crushed potatoes into the ring. Carefully remove the ring. If you do not have a chef's ring, simply form the potato roughly into a circular shape.

8. Arrange 2 fillets of lemon sole on top of the potato and spoon the warm sauce vierge over and around the fish. Repeat for other three servings.
