SOLE MEUNIèRE
The dish that made Julia Child fall in love with French cuisine, sole meunière highlights the simple flavors of fresh fish, butter, lemon and parsley. Fish is the center of the dish, so using a quality fillet is important: A true English Dover sole is preferred. Clarified butter, which takes a few extra minutes to prepare, can take on heat without browning, making it ideal for pan-frying fish. A classic sole meunière is made with a bone-in fillet, but boneless sole is faster and easier. You'll find a recipe for clarified butter here. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.
- Place flour on a large, shallow plate. Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess.
- In a 12-inch nonstick or enamel-lined skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter until bubbling. Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.
- Arrange the fish on a warm serving platter. Top with parsley. In reserved skillet, heat remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter until bubbling and golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then pour evenly over fillets. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Generously coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Season 2 of the fillets with salt. Dredge the fillets in flour and place them immediately in the pan with the hot oil. Do not flour the fish ahead of time or it will be gummy and mushy on the outside rather than crispy.
- When the fish has turned from translucent to opaque, about 2/3 of the way through the cooking, turn the fish over and cook on the other side. Remove the fish from the pan and reserve on a sheet tray in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 fish fillets. Keep the cooked fish fillets warm in the oven while you make the sauce.
- Remove any excess oil from the pan. Add the butter and thyme leaves. Shake the pan frequently to prevent scorching. When the butter has melted and is very bubbly, add in the lemon juice and whisk to combine. As the butter becomes bubbly again and starts to turn a nutty brown, season with salt and whisk in the chopped parsley. Taste to make sure it is delicious.
- Remove the fish fillets from the oven and plate them, spooning the sauce over the fish.

Steps:
- Sole: Heat a saute pan over medium-high. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fish in flour, turning and pressing lightly to coat. Shake off excess and place on a platter.
- Swirl half of oil and butter in pan and, when foam subsides, place 1 fish in pan, white skin-side down. Saute until browned on first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn fish over carefully and saute until other side is crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Repeat with remaining oil and butter to saute remaining fish, then transfer it to another plate.
- Beurre noisette: Sprinkle half of parsley on each fish. Heat butter in a medium saucepan over high, swirling to melt. Cook until starting to brown, then remove from heat, and, as butter darkens to a hazelnut color, toss in capers and lemon juice; swirl to combine. Pour beurre noisette over fish and serve.

Steps:
- Check the fish for small bones and pull any out with tweezers. In a large shallow bowl, season the flour with a little salt and black pepper. Toss the fish in the flour, coating well, and shake off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the fish and cook, skin-side down, for 2 mins. Use a fish slice or large spatula to turn, then cook the other side for 1-2 mins until golden.
- Remove the fish to a warmed plate, then season. Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper. Return the pan to the heat, then add the butter. Heat until it melts and begins to turn a light brown, then mix in the lemon juice and capers, if using. Swirl in the pan for a few secs, return fish to the pan and spoon over any juices. Serve immediately.

EASY SOLE MEUNIERE (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)
This is a VERY good, simple Meuniere. Sometimes I use tilapia...I think you can use almost any kind of firm white fish. Be sure to use kosher salt, there is a difference. And I think the lemon zest really adds to the dish. I also add a few splashes of white wine and sometimes add capers at the end.

SOLE à LA MEUNIèRE
As à la meunière means "in the manner of the miller's wife" in French, it's no surprise that this preparation often calls for the fish to be coated with flour before being sautéed, to promote browning.
Yield Serves 2
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Dredge Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper while heating the clarified butter in a copper oval sauté pan (or a large sauté pan) over medium heat. Pour flour onto a large shallow dish and press both sides of the fish into the flour, making sure it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Sauté Set the fish skin side up in the pan and sauté until golden brown underneath, about 4 minutes. Use a fish spatula (or two large, wide spatulas) to carefully flip the fish and sauté until the skin side is golden brown and cooked throughout (the flesh should flake with a fork and the thickest part of the fish should be opaque), about 3 minutes more.
- Make sauce Drop the butter pieces into the hot pan, around the fish, and let it melt. Sprinkle parsley over fish. When butter is frothy, squeeze the lemon over it (so the juice runs into the butter) and immediately spoon this over the fish. (Alternatively, transfer fish to a platter and sprinkle with parsley before adding butter and lemon juice to the pan, swirling to combine.)
- Serve Fillet fish and parcel portions onto plates, then spoon some more of the sauce on top, and serve.
- This recipe calls for removing the skin from one side only. Begin by snipping off the fins (see page 120). Next, make a small incision in the skin just above the tail. Hold the skin at the incision and then carefully peel back a small portion to make a flap. Holding the flap firmly in one hand and the tail firmly in the other, quickly pull the skin back toward the head to remove skin in one piece.
- True Dover sole, which comes only from the waters of the Atlantic off the Dover coast of England, is difficult to find in the United States and fairly expensive. Gray sole and petrale sole (both of which are actually types of flounder), are perfectly fine. If you'd rather not trim the fish yourself, ask your fishmonger to do this.
- Because clarified butter (page 88) has a higher smoke point than regular butter, it is the cooking fat of choice for sautéing delicate fish such as sole.
- Wondra is a low-protein flour that has been processed so it dissolves instantly. (It is often called "instant flour" for this reason.) Since it is less likely to clump than all-purpose flours, it has long been a favorite among chefs for the ultralight coating it gives sautéed fish.
SOLE MEUNIERE
In the excitement of the new, sometimes the appeal of the old-fashioned sole meunière is forgotten. And yet, the second you allow your fork to tug the buttery, crisp pan-fried fillet, you're powerless to resist. Like a lot of haute cuisine, sole meunière is forever.

Steps:
- Season fillets generously with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour. Place 2 large skillets over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to each one. When hot, add 2 fillets to each pan and cook, turning once, until the fish is golden and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer fish to dinner plates and keep warm. Return the pans to low heat and whisk 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter into each one. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of parsley to each pan and cook for 30 seconds. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

SOLE MEUNIERE PAUL BOCUSE
This is such a classic. Although I do sometimes like some of the contemporary mismatch of flavors, stronger Southeast Asian flavors, etc, my preference is simpler flavors done right. It's hard to beat sole meuniere when it is perfectly cooked and presented. I will always take this over recipes that tend to hide the taste of fish by over saucing and over cooking.

Steps:
- Season sole with salt, pepper and few drops of olive oil; then roll in flour.
- Using a skillet about the same size as fish, heat 2 T butter and 1 T olive oil until very hot.
- As soon as the sole touches the very hot butter it will sear the fish. Do not let the butter boil after this.
- After about 4-5 minutes, turn the sole with spatula and continue cooking until it is done. This usually only takes about 4 minutes only.
- Place the fish on a very hot serving platter. Garnish the edges with a row of thin lemon slices, halved, with their skins cut in points.
- Squeeze a few drops lemon juice onto the sole and sprinkle chopped parsley.
- Add 3 1/2 T butter to the cooking butter in the pan and heat until it turns brown. Pour over the sole.
- When the very hot butter touches the damp parsley, it produces a foam further partially blanching the parsley.
- Bon Appetit!

- In a small skillet, toast the fennel seeds over moderately high heat until they are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer the fennel seeds to a spice grinder and let cool completely, then grind them to a powder. Scrape the powder into a shallow bowl and whisk in the flour, salt and white pepper. In another shallow bowl, combine the heavy cream and white wine. Dip the sole fillets in the cream, then dredge them in the flour mixture.
- In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1 tablespoon each of the canola and olive oils until they are shimmering. Add 2 sole fillets to each skillet and cook the fish fillets over high heat until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn the fillets and cook until golden brown on the outside and white throughout, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer the fish fillets to plates.
- Wipe out 1 skillet and add the butter. Cook over moderate heat, shaking the skillet often, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the capers and shake the pan, then add the vinegar. Spoon the browned butter sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
