Celebrate Bastille Day on July 14 with this light French dish. Pan-fried sole and mushroom drizzled with a butter sauce is a typical French country-style recipe. The simple dish is a great way to serve fresh fish. A meuniere is a miller's wife, and literally translated the dish means cooked the way a miller's wife cooks.
Small red potatoes and green beans complement the sole. The recipe can be cooked in the microwave or sauteed. I have given a recipe for both.
