What is "meuniere butter"?
Meunière butter is a rich and flavorful compound butter commonly used in French cuisine. It is made by browning butter in a skillet until it develops a nutty aroma and a golden color. The butter is then typically finished with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley, which adds brightness and freshness to the sauce. Meunière butter is often used to top or accompany fish dishes, such as sole meunière, to enhance their flavor and provide a luscious and aromatic finishing touch.
Examples
I prepared a delicious fillet of trout with a generous dollop of meunière butter on top.
