Stage 3 - 2 min.
Fillet of salmon meunière

Stage 4 - 6 min.
Fillet of salmon meunière
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

If you are unsure about judging when they are cooked, stick a thermometer into the thickest part and cook until it reaches 140°F (60°C).

Fillet of salmon meunière
When the fish is cooked, transfer to a hot plate and cover with aluminium foil to keep in the heat.

Remarks
"Meunière" or "à la meunière"? No real difference. The name simply refers to the small amount of flour ("meunier" means miller in French) used to coat the fish.
Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.
