Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 7 min.
Trim 4 salmon fillets thoroughly. You should be left with just the flesh, so remove all the skin and any bones.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.
Salt the fillets then roll in flour. Gently shake off any excess.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.
Put a frying pan on medium heat. Melt 30 g butter and when really hot and frothing, add the salmon fillets.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 6 min.
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).

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.
