Description
Made of butter, lemon and parsley, meunière is one of the simplest sauces there is. It's typically served with fish that has been lightly floured and then sautéed for a light, flavorful, elegant dish that's easy to make.

Ingredients

 * Striper Bass filets
 * Lemon, clairifed butter, parsley

Directions

 * 1) Heat a sauté pan over medium heat for a minute, then add a couple of tablespoons of clarified butter.
 * 2) Season the fish fillet to taste with Kosher salt and just a tiny amount of ground white pepper.
 * 3) Dredge the fish lightly in flour and shake off any excess.
 * 4) Gently place the floured fillet into the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until there's a nice golden-brown color, then carefully flip it over. Cook for another four or five minutes or until this side is golden-brown, too.
 * 5) Remove fish from pan and place it on a warm plate.
 * 6) Add a chunk of whole butter to the pan and swirl it around. Cook until it turns slightly brown.
 * 7) Now add a few tablespoons of lemon juice and some chopped parsley to the hot butter. Cook for just a few seconds, letting it bubble a bit, then pour onto the fish and serve right away. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon if you like.
