How To Make sole meunière
-
Step 1Pat dry the fish with paper towels and set aside.
-
Step 2In a shallow dish, add flour and season with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give a quick stir to combine before placing the filet in the flour mixture, making sure to coat the fish very well on both sides. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
-
Step 3In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp. clarified butter and 1 tbsp. lemon juice; swirl the pan to blend the ingredients. When it gets hot, place the filet and pan fry it until nice and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip it and fry the other side until golden as well.
-
Step 4When it’s done, remove from the heat and transfer the filet to a serving plate.
-
Step 5Return the saucepan back on the heat and add the remaining 2 tbsp. butter along with 1 tbsp. lemon juice; tilt the pan to combine them. When it gets hot, add the capers and quickly sauté them for only 1 minute.
-
Step 6Remove from the heat, spoon them on the fish and drizzle with the butter from the pan.
-
Step 7Garnish with a sprig of parsley and a couple lemon wedges. Serve with steamed vegetables and rice.
