This simple French cooking method, called meunière, has stood the test of time for good reason. It yields perfectly crisp-crusted fish, and its brown butter lends a rich, nutty flavour.

Ingredients
Method
Peel lemon; slice as thinly as possible. Set aside.
Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour in shallow dish; press fish into flour, turning to coat.
In nonstick skillet, melt 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the butter over medium heat; fry fish, in batches and turning once, until golden and fish flakes easily when tested, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to plate and keep warm.
In same skillet, melt remaining butter; cook, tilting and swirling pan just until butter is light brown, about 1 minute. Arrange lemon slices over fish; sprinkle with parsley. Pour brown butter over top.
