Salmon Meuniere
Description
Meuniere, a French preparation that's normally used for sole and includes a buttery lemon sauce, works perfectly with salmon in this easy recipe.
Ingredients
•
4 (4 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
3 tablespoons butter
•
2 tablespoons lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon lemon zest
•
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place flour in a small dish and lightly dredge the salmon pieces, shaking off any excess.
3
Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon, flesh-side down, into the pan and brown for 3 minutes. Gently flip pieces over and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove salmon to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
4
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Melt butter for sauce, then whisk in lemon juice and lemon zest. Cook and stir until warmed and slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Drizzle sauce over salmon and serve.
