Sole Meuniere showcases delicate sole fillets lightly floured and pan-cooked in butter, brightened with fresh lemon and finished with parsley. The fish is tender with a nutty, lemon-butter sauce that’s both vibrant and rich. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or an elegant, fuss-free meal to impress.

1

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and pepper.
2

Pat the sole filets dry with paper towels and dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the filets to the hot butter and cook for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and continue cooking until well browned on the first side, 2 to 3 more minutes. Carefully turn the fillets using 2 spatulas and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 1 to 2 minutes longer, spooning the lemon-butter mixture over the fish as it cooks.
4

Remove the fish from the pan and stir the parsley into the butter sauce. Season with the remaining salt to taste. Stir and whisk together, then ladle the butter sauce over the fish fillets. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
