Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chicken in 3 or 4 batches, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per batch.

• Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat. For rare steak, cook filets until instant thermometer reads 130 degrees, about 10 minutes, turning once (for filets cooked to a greater doneness, turn down heat and increase cooking time). Transfer to serving plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
• Place pan on medium heat; melt butter until it begins to brown slightly, scraping up any browned bits. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add tarragon, swirling to blend. Pour sauce over steaks. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with the tarragon, crabmeat and zest, and season. Make a few deep slashes across the fillets on both sides of the sole, then place the fish, dark-skin up, in a large roasting tin. Season, then stuff the crab butter into the cuts, spreading any remaining butter on top. Lay a few lemon slices over the fish, then pour over the wine.
• Bake for 15-20 mins, depending on the size of the fish - the flesh should flake away easily from the bone when gently pushed with a knife.
• Carefully remove the fish from the tin, place on a warm plate or platter and cover with foil while you make the sauce. Set the tin over a low heat, add 2 tbsp water and bring to the boil. Let the sauce bubble for a few mins, then stir in the capers and cream. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve with steamed potatoes and a green salad.
