SOLE MENUIERE with BALSAMIC BROWN BUTTER LEMON SAUCE

We have been eating more fish and green veggies lately. When I went to Costco yesterday they had some GORGEOUS fresh caught Dover sole that was calling my name.  So I found this recipe over at food network and dinner was perfect. I made only a few changes for our liking and what I had on hand.

The term meunière refers to both a sauce and a method of preparation, primarily for fish. The term meunière itself means "miller's wife". So to cook something à la meunière is to cook it by first dredging it in flour. A meunière sauce is a simple rustic preparation of brown butter, chopped parsley, and lemon.
