Sole Meuniere

Step 1

Rinse fish under cold water, then pat dry. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 2

Pour the milk into a large, shallow bowl. Pour the flour onto a large dinner plate. Dip both sides of the fish in the milk, then transfer to the flour. Rub flour into both sides of the fish. Shake off excess flour.

Step 3

Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a pan over medium high heat. Cook the fish on the first side for 2 1/2 minutes. Then flip over and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the fish from the pan. Pour out the butter and rinse the pan under water. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium heat. Then add the juice of the lemon and give the pan a swirl. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 5

Pour the butter sauce over the fish and garnish with parsley (and lemon wedges, if desired).
