Julia Child’s Sole Meunière
Sole meunière is the second course, and probably the most memorable course, Julia Child had during her first meal in France. This is a classic French dish, where sole, filets or the whole fish, is lightly floured and then pan fried with butter. The sauce is finished with capers, parsley, and fresh lemon juice. It’s very similar to this pan-fried salmon dish I made a couple weeks ago.
Here’s Julia’s description of the sole meunière served to her at Restaurant La Couronne:
