Ingredients for Sole Meuniere with Rice Pilaf

• 2 colheres de sopa de azeite de oliva

• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

• Kosher salt, freshly ground white pepper

• freshly ground white pepper

• 275g jasmine rice

• 1 folha de louro

• 4 colheres de sopa de manteiga sem sal, cortada em pedaços

• Fleur de sel

• 230g plus 4 tablespoons (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 80ml de creme de leite fresco

• 60ml de suco de limão fresco

• Kosher salt, freshly ground white pepper

• freshly ground white pepper

• 130g de farinha de trigo

• 4 skinless Dover or lemon sole fillets

• 60ml clarified butter or ghee

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

• 2 lemons, halved

Preheat oven to 191°C. Heat oil in a medium ovenproof saucepan over medium. Add onion, season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, 5–8 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat; cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf and 725ml water; season with kosher salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Cover and bake in oven until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 15–20 minutes.

Remove rice from oven and let sit 5 minutes, then gently fluff with a fork. Top with butter; let it melt into rice, then sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Cook 240ml unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5–8 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add cream (it will foam up slightly). Return to medium heat and cook, stirring often, until cream browns (mixture will go from pale beige to a deep caramel colour), 5–8 minutes. At this point, sauce will look broken and grainy, but it will come back together. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and 120ml water. Cut 2 tablespoons unsalted butter into small pieces. Whisking constantly, add butter a piece at a time, incorporating completely before adding the next piece, until sauce is glossy; season with salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm while you cook the fish.

Place flour in a shallow baking dish. Season sole with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides of fillets in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high until smoking. Carefully add fillets and cook until underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gently turn fillets and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1 minute. Add remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and cook a minute or so until brown. Remove skillet from heat and, using a large spoon, baste fish with butter for a minute or two to finish cooking.

Transfer sole to a platter. Spoon lemon cream sauce over; top with parsley. Serve with rice pilaf and lemon halves alongside.
