This classic sole meunière is a timeless French dish that celebrates the delicate flavour of fresh flatfish. By lightly coating the fillets in seasoned flour and pan-frying them until golden, you achieve a beautiful contrast between the crisp exterior and the tender, flaky white meat inside. The dish is defined by its signature 'meunière' sauce—a simple but luxurious combination of browned butter, fresh parsley, and a bright splash of lemon juice.
A sophisticated yet remarkably quick seafood dinner, this recipe is perfect for a light midweek meal or an elegant weekend supper. The nutty aroma of the clarified butter perfectly complements the mild sweetness of the sole, making it a firm favourite for those who appreciate high-quality ingredients cooked with simplicity. Serve alongside some crushed new potatoes or seasonal greens for a complete, restaurant-standard experience at home.
