EASY SOLE MEUNIERE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Have 2 heat-proof dinner plates ready
- Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow plate. Pat the sole fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle one side with salt.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat until it starts to brown. Dredge 2 sole fillets in the seasoned flour on both sides and place them in the hot butter. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a metal spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. While the second side cooks, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pan. Carefully put the fish filets on the ovenproof plates and pour the sauce over them. Keep the cooked fillets warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the remaining 2 fillets. When they're done, add the cooked fillets to the plates in the oven. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

SOLE MEUNIèRE
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.

Steps:

Place half of the fish fillets in the pan and cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer to the plate or baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons clarified butter to skillet and heat until bubbling, then cook remaining fillets. Wipe out the skillet.

Steps:
- Cut each fish fillet into 4 pieces lengthwise and set aside. Rinse and dry the mushrooms and chop coarsely. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft,about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms, reduce the heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the mushrooms are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and continue cooking for 2 more minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Add the tomatoes (and up to 1/2 cup of their juice if using canned tomatoes) to this mixture. Stir and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Add the scallions, stir, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. The mixture may require some water, additional wine or tomato juice to keep it thick but not dry; add what you need to suit your taste. After 10 minutes, stir in the parsley and remove from the heat.
- Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease an ovenproof pan large enough for the 16 small fish fillets. Season them lightly with salt and pepper and pour the sauce over the fillets. Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve with buttered potatoes or steamed white rice.

Steps:
- Put the fillets on a flat surface. There may be a small bone line running partly down the center of each fillet. If so, cut on both sides and discard it.
- Beat the egg, salt, pepper, water and one tablespoon of oil in a flat dish.
- Put the flour in a flat dish and toss the fillets in it. Shake off excess.
- Put bread crumbs in a flat dish.
- Dip the floured fillets, one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat well. Dip them on both sides in the bread crumbs and pat lightly to make the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet and add enough breaded fillets to make one layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, about one and one-half to two minutes. Turn and cook about one and one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish. It may be necessary to add more oil if it disappears. As the fillets are cooked transfer them to a warm serving platter. Continue cooking until all the fillets are done.
- Pour off the oil from the skillet and wipe it out with paper towels.
- Put the butter in the skillet and swirl it around over high heat until it starts to foam. Continue cooking until it starts to become hazelnut brown. Pour this over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality fish. This is key to making a delicious sole dish. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell.
- Season the fish simply. Sole has a delicate flavor, so it's important not to overwhelm it with too many spices or herbs. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
- Cook the fish gently. Sole is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Serve the fish immediately. Sole is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that it's still moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Whether you're looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, sole is a great option. It's a delicious, versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create a sole dish that will impress your family and friends.
