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.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 4-ounce skinless, boneless sole or other thin fish fillets, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground white or black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons clarified butter
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet inside.

Sole Rolls with White Wine Sauce (Paupiettes de Sole au Vin Blanc) image

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 small, skinless, boneless fillets of sole or flounder, about 2 pounds
1 1/4 cups shrimp mousse, approximately (see recipe)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8 small snow-white mushroom caps, stems removed
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup fish veloute (see recipe)
1 cup heavy cream
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Run the fingers lengthwise down the center of each fillet. If there is a tiny bone line at the end near the center base of each fillet, use a small paring knife to cut on either side of this bone line to remove it.
  • Lay out the fillets on a flat surface, skinned side down. Using a flat mallet, pound each fillet lightly to flatten. Do not break the flesh.
  • Spoon equal portions of the shrimp mousse into the center of each fillet. Roll up each fillet to enclose the filling. Fold the ends of each fillet over the mousse to enclose it.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Select a baking dish large enough to hold the paupiettes of sole comfortably in one layer. Rub the bottom of the dish with one teaspoon of the butter. Sprinkle the bottom of the dish with shallots, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the paupiettes, seam side down, on the dish. Scatter the mushrooms between the paupiettes, cap side down.
  • Pour the wine over all. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with a round of wax paper, trimmed to fit neatly and compactly over the fish.
  • Place the dish on the stove and bring the wine to the simmer.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
  • Remove the dish. Using a spatula, transfer the paupiettes, one at a time, to a serving dish. Cover each paupiette with one mushroom cap, cap side up. Cover with foil and keep warm.
  • Pour the cooking liquid into a skillet and bring to the boil. Cook over high heat until reduced to about one-half cup. Add any liquid that has accumulated around the covered fish fillets.
  • Add the veloute and stir to blend. Add the cream and bring to the boil. Pour the sauce into a sieve, preferably of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois. Strain the sauce, pushing it through with a wooden spoon. Bring this sauce to the boil in a saucepan.
  • Off heat, swirl in the remaining two tablespoons of butter. When it is melted, add the lemon juice.
  • Spoon the hot sauce over the paupiettes and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Sole Fillets: The fresher the sole fillets, the better the dish will taste. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, ocean-like smell.
  • Season the Fillets: Season the sole fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: A non-stick pan will help to prevent the fillets from sticking and breaking apart during cooking.
  • Cook the Fillets Over Medium Heat: Cooking the fillets over medium heat will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Add the Wine and Butter: Once the fillets are cooked through, add the white wine and butter to the pan. The wine will help to deglaze the pan and create a flavorful sauce, while the butter will add richness and creaminess.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the fillets of sole in white wine immediately, while they are still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Fillets of sole in white wine is a classic French dish that is both elegant and delicious. The delicate flavor of the sole is perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests, whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
