Notes

  • *Substitute any light flaky fish like turbot, skate, whiting, trout or Dover sole.
  • **Substitute vegetable oil or clarified butter if you wish.
  • Thicker fish filets may need a bit more cooking time. 
  • A stainless steel frying pan or saucepan works best to make the brown butter meunière sauce.
  • Make sure to give the butter enough time to cook. The water in the butter needs to cook off so the milk solids can brown.
