Description
Sole Meunière is a classic French dish featuring sole fillets cooked in a brown butter sauce with lemon and parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sole fillets, skinless
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sole fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each sole fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sole fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a warm plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, cooking until it turns light golden brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Pour the brown butter sauce over the cooked sole fillets.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add capers to the brown butter sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
