How to Make Martha Stewart’s Sole a la Meuniere | Martha’s Cooking School | Martha Stewart

A classic French dish that’s easy-to-make and perfect for a fancy dinner date. In this video, Martha Stewart shows you how to make sole a la meuniere with a Dover sole. She starts by skinning and trimming the fish before dredging both sides of it in flour, which has a little salt and pepper in the mixture. Next, after adding clarified butter to a pan, she cooks both sides of the fish evenly. Finally, she adds normal butter to the pan and spoons it over the fish before topping with parsley and freshly squeezed lemon juice. She filets the meat off of the bone and enjoys the rich and savory flavor of this simple but delicious recipe.

This is the Martha Stewart’s cooking school series, where Martha teaches the home cook her favorite culinary basics and techniques.

Way back in 1982, I was served this at Claridges in London. The maitre d' boned & plated it at the table. It was served with mangetout 🫛 & fabulous white wine 🥂. Probably the best meal I've ever eaten in all my 80 years. Can't remember what dessert was, though 🙄! 😂

Julia child ate in france. Perhaps her first dish was this one. She was enchanted with food from that moment for the rest of her life

I used flounder which was already butchered. I used about $6 worth to feed two people. It tasted like fine dining. capers in the butter was a nice touch

[roontunes]

hmmm, our favourite part of this fish is the skin, I cook them hot and quick on the skin and when its crispy its done 😋

[jamessheridan]

The only recipe for sole meuniere I'd ever seen that didn't call for capers.

[joejackson]

Total cool, forgive me I work allot and still haven't watched southern fried chicken and want complete attention etc. Infatuated with your knowledge precious lady. 😮❤

[monikamoon]

Ah this is so tasty Martha, thanks. 🐟🐟

[lindarebeccachannel]

I love yummy Good martha ..thank you..

[heimslach]

Pretty sure it's ok to take sole from wherever you can find it - no need to source fish transatlantic. Id imagine like most common names of dishes, Dover is just a place where it was popularised

[sookie]

What is the second batch of butter clarified or regular salted butter?

[rockygraziano]

So simple Martha thank you !!! What other species of fish can i use ?? I have some snapper, and some white fish my brother caught in Canada and brought me. Will the method work ? This fish has already been skinned, as far as the flour, , will a high gluten flour work such as a 00 flour ?

[PaulValdmanis]

[paulsolon]

But too much lemon juice
