Best Red Snapper Or Other White Fillets Meunière Recipes
FISH MEUNIERE WITH CAPERS
This is from the America's Test Kitchen Cookbook, 2006 edition. This kind of made me think of chicken piccata, only made with fish. Use a flatfish, like sole or flounder for best results.

Steps:
- For the fish: Set oven to 200 degrees, and place a heatproof plate in the oven.
- Place flour in a baking dish. Season dry fish fillets with salt and pepper, set aside for 5 minutes or until moisture shows on the surface.
- Coat fish with flour, shake off any excess, and set aside on a baking sheet.
- In a large (12 inch) non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add two fillets skin side up, to the skillet, and reduce heat to medium high. Cook the fish without distubing it, about 3 minutes, or until the edges are opaque and the bottom is golden.
- Carefully flip the fish (you may need two spatulas to do this without breaking it), and continue to cook for another two minutes or until the thickest part flakes when a toothpick is inserted.
- Transfer the fish to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining fillets.
- Wipe the pan clean, and repeat steps 6 through 11 with the other two fillets.
- For the browned butter: Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a stainless steel skillet over medium high heat until the butter melts.
- Continue to cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is golden brown and smells nutty, about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- To serve: Remove fish from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Add the lemon juice and capers to the browned butter, swirl to combine. Taste butter sauce, add salt or pepper to taste. Spoon the butter sauce over the fish, and serve immediately.

RED SNAPPER OR OTHER WHITE FILLETS MEUNIèRE
Classically, meunière refers to fillets of sole that are floured and quickly sautéed in clarified butter, then finished with parsley, lemon juice, and a little melted butter. Over the years the definition has expanded to encompass a series of flexible techniques that can be applied to just about any thin cut of meat, poultry, or fish.You can serve this with a salad and bread, or with any good potato and vegetable combination. True sole is a uniquely firm fish, best replaced not by local "soles" (like gray sole or Pacific sole) but by sturdy fillets like red snapper, grouper, catfish, black-fish, or sea bass.

Steps:
- Heat a 12-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.While it is heating, sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and place the flour or cornmeal on a plate.
- Place enough oil or butter in the skillet to coat the bottom well and place over high heat. When the oil is hot, dredge a fillet in the coating, turning it over a few times and pressing it down so that it is well covered. Add the fillet to the pan, then repeat.
- Cook until the fillets are nicely browned on the first side, about 3 minutes, then turn and cook on the second side for 2 to 4 minutes, lowering the heat a bit if the coating begins to scorch, until the fish is firm to the touch. As the fish is cooking, melt the butter, if you're using it, over medium heat until it is nut brown.
- When the fish is done, drain it briefly on paper towels, then transfer to a warm platter. Drizzle with lemon juice and top with half the parsley. At the last minute, pour the browned butter over all, add the remaining parsley, and serve.
