Sole Meunière needs no introduction. It’s a french classic dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. It can sometimes be a bit intimidating to order at a restaurant and cook at home because the typical french way is to pan-fry a whole sole. This recipe not only simplifies it, but makes it available to everyone, including your gluten-free friends and family.
