The dish that made Julia Child fall in love with French cuisine, sole meunière highlights the simple flavours of fresh fish, butter, lemon and parsley.

Fish is the centre of the dish, so using a quality a fillet is important, luckily we’ve got that covered! South African East-Coast Sole is a perfect choice. Clarified butter, which takes a few extra minutes to prepare, can take on heat without browning, making it ideal for pan-frying fish.

Heat oven to 200 degrees and place a large enough oven-safe plate or baking tray inside for serving later.

Place flour on a large, shallow plate. Season both sides of your fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess
