Sole Meunière

By Nadia Aidi
Sole Meunière…ok, soooo…typically from Normandy but I enjoyed this dish quite a bit during my time in Antibes. Delicate, delicious and comforting all at the same time.

Ingredients 

  • 4 petrale or dover sole filets, I’m using deboned
  • 4 tbsp clarified butter
  • 4-5 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp capers + 1 tsp caper juice
  • 1.5 tsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zest and to taste for the juice
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt

Directions 

  • Pat dry the fish well
  • Mix the flour and seasoned salt
  • Coat the filets on both sides with the flour and shake off excess
  • Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate 15-20 minutes
  • Preheat a stainless steel pan for 2 minutes on high
  • Add 2 tbsp clarified butter and once bubbling add 2 filets of the fish giving it a lil shake so they don’t stick. Cook for 2-2.5 min on medium high per side. Wipe off the pan and repeat with the other 2 filets
  • Add the unsalted butter and brown on medium, after about 2 min once it is starting to smell nuttier add in lemon zest and capers with the juice
  • Continue browning for another 3-5 min until fully golden. Turn heat off, add in tamari and a tiny squeeze of lemon
  • Spoon over the fish with parsley
