- Four 6- to 8-ounce sole or flounder fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground pepper

- 1/3 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese, preferably Pecorino Sardo (about 1 ounce)
- 1/2 ounce bottarga (optional); see Note
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Generously butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fish fillets in one layer.
- Arrange the fish fillets in the dish, top with the butter slices and drizzle with the olive oil.
- Season the fish with pepper and scatter the parsley and thyme on top.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Sprinkle the fish fillets with the grated pecorino.
