Sole Meuniere (Sole in Lemon-Butter Sauce) image

This classic French method of cooking fish is actually super easy and fast, and every time I make it the reviews are outstanding from children and adults alike. This is a restaurant-caliber recipe that you truly can prepare in 15 minutes! For fussy eaters, I cut back on the lemon juice a little. I like to serve this with ratatouille. Serve with lemon wedges.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons coconut oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 sole fillets
½ cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place 2 serving plates in the oven to pre-warm.
  • Divide oil between 2 large skillets and heat over medium heat until oil shimmers.
  • While oil is heating, sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of fillets. Pour flour into a pie plate and dredge fillets on both sides until evenly coated.
  • Add butter evenly to both skillets and swirl to mix with oil. When foam subsides, add fish and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Carefully turn fish over and cook until opaque white in the middle and starting to brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to the warmed plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Return plates to the oven.
  • Return skillets to medium-high heat. Add butter and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon juice. Spoon butter sauce over fish.
