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.

FISH ALMONDINE



Fish Almondine image

From when I was expecting my first baby, Alex, to well past the birth of my second child, Paige, I used to meet my grandmother, Ga-Ga, at Luby's Cafeteria in my hometown for lunch on an almost monthly basis. Luby's had a mega-long (it seemed like a football field, but probably wasn't quite) serving line of prefilled small plates holding such comfort foods as Jell-O salad, macaroni and cheese, Salisbury steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and slices of pie as far as the eye could see. But for me, the single most memorable dish at Luby's was their gloriously consistent Fish Almondine. No matter which seventeen sides I selected (okay, sometimes it was eighteen), Fish Almondine was always the main course for me. This is my best attempt to re-create the Luby's magic. (I love and miss you, Ga-Ga.)

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Fish:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 sole fillets (each about 3 to 4 ounces)
Coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
Sauce:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • For fish:
  • Place flour in pie dish. Rinse fish; pat with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of fish with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge fish on both sides with flour; shake off excess. Place on platter.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until oil is hot and shimmers. Add butter; quickly swirl skillet to coat. When foam subsides, add fish and cook until golden on bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish over and cook until opaque in center and golden on bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide fish between 2 warmed plates; tent with foil. Pour off drippings from skillet; wipe with paper towels.
  • For sauce:
  • Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in parsley and lemon juice (sauce may sputter). Spoon sauce over fish. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Select a firm-fleshed white fish like sole, flounder, or tilapia for a classic experience.
  • Proper Seasoning: Don't shy away from salt and pepper. Season the fish fillets generously before cooking to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Perfect Pan Searing: Ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the fish. This creates a crispy, golden crust while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Deglazing the Pan: After removing the fish, deglaze the pan with white wine or lemon juice to capture the browned bits and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Fresh Herbs: Enhance the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, chives, or tarragon just before serving for an aromatic touch.
  • Serve Immediately: White fish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Serve it promptly with your favorite sides to relish its delicate texture and flavors.

Conclusion:

With its simple yet elegant preparation, White Fish Amandine Meunière epitomizes the essence of French cuisine. The combination of crispy, pan-seared fish, rich, nutty browned butter, and the delicate crunch of almonds creates a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
