Start by making a small cut in the tail of the sole so that you can gently lift the skin off the fish.
Once the skin has been lifted sufficiently, place a sheet of kitchen paper in each hand. Take hold of the tail of the sole with one hand, and with your second hand, remove the skin from the fish using a gentle, even movement.
After removing the skin, turn the fish over so that you can scrape off the scales from the white part of the sole using your filet knife.
Rinse the sole with water to remove any remaining scales.
Season the fish on both sides with coarse salt. Then spread some flour in a bowl before dipping the sole filets in it, taking care to shake off any excess flour.
Next, heat a frying pan with a little oil over medium heat.
When the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully place the sole filets in the oil, placing the part with the white skin first.
Leave the sole to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the fish is golden brown and slightly crispy.
TIP: Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the filets, as this will help to develop a crispy crust.
Gently turn the sole filets over with a spatula and leave to cook for a further 2 minutes.
Then add the butter, cut into pieces, and leave to melt. The butter will add flavor and richness to the dish, as well as helping to brown the filets.
TIP: Be sure to use a thin spatula to avoid breaking the filets, which are very delicate!
Pour the lemon juice into the hot pan and let it sizzle for a few seconds before spooning it over the fish.
Once cooked, place the sole filets on a plate. Pour generous spoonfuls of sauce over each filet.
Season your sole filets with a little lemon juice (if you have any left), ground pepper and freshly chopped parsley.
NOTE: The head of the sole is often left intact in traditional French cooking, as it adds flavor to the dish. However, we have decided to remove it after cooking. The choice is yours!
Enjoy your sole meunière with steamed vegetables or pan-fried potato slices. Don't forget to accompany your dish with slices of crusty bread.
Bon appétit!
