Steps:
- Put the fillets on a flat surface. There may be a small bone line running partly down the center of each fillet. If so, cut on both sides and discard it.
- Beat the egg, salt, pepper, water and one tablespoon of oil in a flat dish.
- Put the flour in a flat dish and toss the fillets in it. Shake off excess.
- Put bread crumbs in a flat dish.
- Dip the floured fillets, one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat well. Dip them on both sides in the bread crumbs and pat lightly to make the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet and add enough breaded fillets to make one layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, about one and one-half to two minutes. Turn and cook about one and one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish. It may be necessary to add more oil if it disappears. As the fillets are cooked transfer them to a warm serving platter. Continue cooking until all the fillets are done.
- Pour off the oil from the skillet and wipe it out with paper towels.
- Put the butter in the skillet and swirl it around over high heat until it starts to foam. Continue cooking until it starts to become hazelnut brown. Pour this over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and serve.

Tips:
- When purchasing sole fillets, choose firm, light-colored fillets with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- To ensure your sole fillets cook evenly, make sure they are all of a similar thickness. If some fillets are thicker than others, pound them gently with a meat mallet to even out the thickness.
- To prevent the sole fillets from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-heated before adding the fish.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the sole fillets. If the pan is too crowded, the fillets will not cook evenly and will likely steam rather than fry.
- Cook the sole fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
- To make the grainy mustard sauce, whisk together the grainy mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and chives until smooth.
- Serve the sole fillets immediately with the grainy mustard sauce and your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes.
