The term means "in the style of the miller's wife" and refers to a meat, usually fish, that is dusted in flour before being cooked in butter.
Sole meunière (or sole à la meunière) is a classic French fish dish consisting of sole, floured and fried, and served with hot melted butter, lemon juice and parsley. Many recipes specify Dover sole, but the technique can be used with other similar flatfish.
