Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 flounder 4-6 oz each, nice sized filets
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • all-purpose flour About 1 cup, for dredging
  • 6 tablespoons butter salted
  • 1 thyme optional, sprig, fresh
  • 1 lemon plus more wedges for serving
  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely minced, fresh

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.
