Easy Sole Meuniere with Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

I learned a new french word today: Meunière. It means (in the manner of the miller’s wife) dredged in flour before pan-frying in butter usually with lemon juice and chopped parsley sprinkled on top. Usually done with fish, the butter it was sautéed in, is poured onto it and served with a wedge of lemon.

This really quick and simple meuniere recipe is from Ina Garten (aka the Barefoot Contessa), one of my fave food network star. I paired it with spaghetti aglio e olio and it was great. I like the taste of lemon on the fish, I’ve never tried something like this before, and now I wonder why I hadn’t. will definitely cook this again, my family liked it especially my 9-year old daughter. It looks quite plain in the pictures but it is really yummy (I should have added some salad greens).

I don’t know what a sole fish is, so I just used the fish fillet that I regularly buy in the supermarket. It’s called basa fish fillet. I don’t know if there’s a big difference there but it looks similar in the picture of Ina’s sole meuniere recipe on her website and it turned out great for me so I don’t see any problem at all in the substitution and oh, I used olive oil instead of butter to make it healthier.

The spaghetti aglio e olio is the easiest pasta dish anyone can make, I usually substitute it in place of rice. It’s like the Italian version of our sinangag (Filipino fried rice with garlic). Aglio e Olio simply means garlic and oil.
