1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

SOLE MEUNIèRE



Sole Meunière image

The dish that made Julia Child fall in love with French cuisine, sole meunière highlights the simple flavors of fresh fish, butter, lemon and parsley. Fish is the center of the dish, so using a quality fillet is important: A true English Dover sole is preferred. Clarified butter, which takes a few extra minutes to prepare, can take on heat without browning, making it ideal for pan-frying fish. A classic sole meunière is made with a bone-in fillet, but boneless sole is faster and easier. You'll find a recipe for clarified butter here. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground white or black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons clarified butter

SOLE ALMONDINE

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups blanched slivered almonds
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cleaned sole fillets (6 ounces each)
1 large or 3 small shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.

Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly crispy sole fillets, ensure the fillets are patted dry before cooking. This removes excess moisture, allowing the fillets to brown evenly and develop a delicious crust.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the fillets from sticking. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat to create a hot surface that sears the fish quickly.
  • Cook the sole fillets for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and opaque throughout. Avoid overcooking, as this will result in dry and tough fish.
  • For a flavorful and nutty crust, coat the sole fillets in a mixture of almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and herbs before pan-frying. This coating adds texture and depth of flavor to the fish.
  • Serve the almond-crusted sole fillets immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice. Accompany the dish with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or a simple rice pilaf for a complete meal.
