I picked up a ton of Sole at Costco, but I usually don't cook fish. I'd like to, that's why I bought it, but the only thing I've done is put it in our deep fryer. That stunk up our house for a few days!! Never again! So, does anyone have any good tips, suggestions, and/or recipes for cooking Sole? They would be very appreciated!

Petrale Sole with Ginger Brown Butter Beurre Blanc

Serves 3-4

For a traditional beurre blanc, strain the sauce to remove the shallots, garlic and ginger. I like it unstrained, which is a little more rustic but has a nice texture.
The sole:
1 pound petrale sole fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
-- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
-- Juice of 1/2 lemon
The beurre blanc:
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice + more to taste
1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar
1/4 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons brown butter, chilled until hard and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions: Preheat broiler. Place sole fillets on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil just until cooked through and opaque in the center, 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside, tented with foil to keep warm.
Meanwhile, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat until just beginning to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and shallots, and stir constantly until the shallots have softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and vinegar, and cook until almost entirely evaporated, 3-4 minutes. Add cream and stir to warm through. Remove from the heat and add the brown butter in pieces, whisking between each addition, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and with more lemon juice, if desired.
Divide the fish between 3 or 4 plates, and spoon 2 tablespoons of sauce over each serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and pass the rest of the sauce at the table.
