Recipe from: Gourmet Cooking with 5 Ingredients by Deborah Anderson (Cookbook Resources) I've never seen cream in sauce meuniere (which means Miller's Wife). Don't think I like it either. I always make it a la minute, never a batch at a time. For example, When I do trout a la meuniere, I cook my trout, sprinkle with coarsely chopped parsley, and squeeze lemon juice on it. Then, in my pan I'll make beurre noisette (brown butter), check seasonings, and pour that over the trout. Simple as that.
