Sole Meunière -7/30/08

Sole Meunière is a classic French dish consisting of pan fried whole or filet of sole served with a brown butter sauce and lemon.  Sole has a light, flaky texture when cooked and has a mild flavor.  The French usually use Dover Sole but it is sometime difficult to find so I just substitute with gray Sole.  This dish is very easy to prepare and it can be a casual dish or you can dressed it up with a fancy side dish.  Kevin really likes this dish and I can prepare it during the week since it takes almost no preparation time at all.

Preparation work

The sole is seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika

Next the sole is lightly floured.

 

Here I am putting the sole in hot pan with oil.

It takes about 4 minutes on each side to cook to sole.

Once the sole is cooked I am preparing a brow butter sauce with Parsley

The sauce is then poured on the Sole and squeeze of lemon is added to the sauce. Like I said this is a really simple recipe but the result is a very tasty dish.
