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.

EASY GARLIC PARMESAN BAKED FLOUNDER RECIPE (20 MINS)
This one-pan baked flounder recipe with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and vegetables is easy and so delicious (thanks to a bold and lemony sauce with Mediterranean spices!). If you can't find flounder, any mild white fish would work, such as Dover sole, halibut, or branzino filet will work. Choose thinner fish filets if possible. Serve baked flounder with potatoes or greens like broccoli or a green bean salad.

PAN SAUTEED SOLE/FLOUNDER PARMESAN
From A Guide to Modern American Cooking. It is called Grilled Sole Parmesan there but I changed the name to reflect the cooking style. This is not grilled! I am putting here for future use. ***For the reviewer who wanted advice on how to prevent fish from sticking: try a Teflon or other non-stick pan and use plastic spatulas to move the fish around gently to avoid breaking the fish. Hope this helps.

PAN-SAUTEED SOLE
We used lemon sole, a flaky, mild-tasting white fish. At the market, look for flat fish such as sole or flounder; Pacific-caught are the most sustainable. Tilapia works well, too. Serve it with steamed new potatoes and sauteed spinach.

Steps:
- In a food processor blend panko, parmesan and parsley until fine. Transfer to a shallow pan. In a separate pan whip eggs and milk until well combined. In a third pan place the flour. Take the sole fillets and season with salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Dredge sole in flour, then egg wash and finally in the parmesan/panko mix. Pat the parmesan and panko into the sole until the mix sticks to the fish. In a large sauté pan heat butter and olive oil until hot. Carefully place sole in the pan and shake the pan to make sure the fish doesn't stick. When sole is golden brown, flip over and continue to cook. When sole is done (120° F internally), transfer to plate and top with lemon beurre blanc. Lemon Beurre Blanc Yields 1 cup 1 cupWhite wine 1 Tbsp.White wine vinegar 1 Tbsp.Shallots 4 Tbsp.Heavy whipping cream ¼ lbButter - unsalted, chilled, cut into cubes 2 Tbsp.Lemon pulp - chopped (see note) 1 tsp.Lemon zest - minced 1/8 tsp.Kosher salt 1/8 tsp.White pepper In a sauce pan over medium high heat, combine wine, vinegar and shallots. Reduce until almost a syrup consistency. Add cream and continue to cook reducing by half. Turn the heat to low and add butter cubes 2 at a time while stirring until all the butter is added and sauce is a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Note: If the butter is not chilled it will not incorporate into the sauce. Also if the wine mixture is not reduced far enough the sauce will be runny. Note: To make the lemon pulp, cut off the rind including the white part. Cut between the sections removing just the pulp. At the same time removing any seeds. Place the pulp and any juice in a cup. It is also a good idea to zest the lemon first.
