Pacific Dover sole is a type of flounder, and is a totally different fish than the rich and decadent true Dover sole. Pacific Dover sole is an affordable fish that works perfectly in this recipe– just make sure that you understand what you’re buying. If you’re shopping for Dover sole, keep an eye out for Pacific or West Coast Dover Sole. Pacific Dover Sole vs True (European) Dover Sole Flounder is an affordable, thin, less meaty fish. I’ve made this dish on a weeknight with flounder. That said, this technique for fish meunière works with any mild, white fish. Pan-seared halibut is truly one of life’s best treats. I love using halibut or cod in this recipe.
Why was it so rich? Partly because of the butter, but also because of the sweet and meaty Dover sole. Julia Child’s sole meunière was a rich and decadent dish. Meunière is French for “in the manner of the miller’s wife,” and refers to fish that’s been dusted in flour and cooked in butter.Īpparently the miller’s wife loved butter. If you’re looking for other classic French recipes for a special night in, try these: ratatouille, gratin dauphinois (scalloped potatoes) French onion soup, French crêpes (or gluten-free crêpes or vegan crêpes), and crème brûlée (or coconut crème brûlée). Happily, the French meunière technique works with other fish too, and can be decadent for date night, or quick and delicious for weeknight dinners. Julia’s decadent dish featured True Dover Sole- a European fish that is luxurious, sweet, and quite frankly– impossible to find where I live. Legend has it that Julia Child’s love affair with food began after a delicious escapade (a.k.a.– dinner) with a dish of Sole Meunière.
