Ingredients

4 (8 ounces) sole fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons clarified butter
1 cup flour
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
4 tablespoons fresh butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons drained brined capers, minced
Lemon slices, for garnish

Directions

Season fillets with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter in each of 2 large saute pans.

Dredge fillets in flour, shaking off any excess flour. Place fillets in saute pans and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove fillets from pans and transfer on to a platter, sprinkle with parsley. Cover with foil.

Remove remaining butter from one of the skillets and add the fresh butter. Heat until the butter begins to brown. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and capers. Pour sauce over fish and serve. Garnish with lemon slices.

Sole Meuniere with Browned Butter Caper Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The real McCoy (Solea solea) being unavailable in Missoula, Montana, I tried this recipe with two farmed (and very fresh)... catfish fillets. While it wasn't Dover sole, the resulting dish was extremely good: easy to prepare and quite attractive, when served in the center a snow-white plate. Read more

Sole Meuniere
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We enjoyed this dish very much. The flavors in the sauce really compliment the fish. I actually used trout fillets instead... of the sole since my fisherman husband keeps our freezer well supplied with it. This dish is quick, simple, and makes a nice presentation.Read more

soooo good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so quick and so easy that you will not believe you could make food that tastes this good. This recipe is the closest... approximation to the Sole Meuniere I had at the fantastic bistro in Paris. Get good sole, and don't put too many filets in the pan at once or they don't get the lovely crisp crust.Read more

I found this recipe to be lovely as a midweek meal. It was quick, easy and very tasty. I believe the recipe would do nicely... with any type of mild white fish. The only addition I made was to add some seasonings to the flour. I will definitly make this again.Read more
