Whiting Meuniere Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready
• Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan. Carefully put the fish filets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they're done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Unwrap fish but leave it on the butcher paper. Season with salt and pepper on flesh side only. Sprinkle generously with flour, and then shake off the excess.
• In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the fish in the pan skin side down. Cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook until the flesh is just cooked through and is no longer translucent, about 3 more minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish.

Steps:

• Season fish with salt and pepper and squeeze 1 lemon half over fish.
• Heat 2 tablespoon butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbling.
• Spread flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge fish through the flour until lightly coated on both sides.
• Cook fish in the bubbling butter mixture, working in batches, until fish is golden on both sides and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fish to a serving platter.
• Increase heat under skillet to medium-high; add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir butter until fragrant and starting to turn brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic to brown butter and remove skillet from heat. Stir capers into garlic mixture and squeeze remaining lemon half over mixture. Pour caper sauce over cooked fish.
