  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground himalayan sea salt, or to taste

How To Make sole meunière

  • Step 1
    Pat dry the fish with paper towels and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In 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 3
    In 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 4
    When it’s done, remove from the heat and transfer the filet to a serving plate.
  • Step 5
    Return 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 6
    Remove from the heat, spoon them on the fish and drizzle with the butter from the pan.
  • Step 7
    Garnish with a sprig of parsley and a couple lemon wedges. Serve with steamed vegetables and rice.
