Sole Meunière

Light, flaky and buttery sole is the perfect summer fish, especially when drizzled with lemon! Sole is a very mild fish and clean tasting fish. Dover sole is a great option and my favorite if you can find it is turbot. Although, any mild white fish will work beautifully in this recipe so use what you like and can find!

If you like your fish more on the crunchy side, add more olive oil and less ghee when searing.

For serving I like simply a drizzle of lemon but what is also delicious is extra virgin olive oil, lemon and parsley!
