Instructions

Sprinkle the zucchini generously with salt and set in a strainer in the sink to drain for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the sole with paprika and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss the asparagus with the avocado oil and season with salt. Broil for 10 minutes, or until lightly charred.
While asparagus cooks, prepare the zucchini. Add half the butter to a large nonstick pan and heat over high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels and add to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender. Sprinkle with almonds and transfer to serving plates.
Add the second half of the butter to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sole and cook for 1-2 minutes, flip and cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes, or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork.
Divide asparagus between the two serving plates. Top with sole and sprinkle the zucchini with parmesan and serve with lemon.
