Best French Style Flounder Recipes

FLOUNDER FILLETS FRENCH STYLE

Steps:

• Place the fillets on a flat surface and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Break the egg into a shallow wide dish and add salt, pepper and water. Beat well to blend.
• Spoon the flour onto a flat dish.
• Dip the fillets in the flour. Coat well on all sides, but shake off excess flour.
• Dip the fillets in the egg mixture to coat well on all sides. Drain off excess egg mixture.
• Heat enough oil in a skillet to coat the bottom lightly. Add a few pieces of fish at one time in a single layer without crowding. Let cook about 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown on one side. Turn the pieces carefully and cook on the second side about one minute or until golden brown. Carefully transfer the pieces to a warm serving platter.
• Continue cooking the fish a few pieces at a time, adding more oil as necessary.
• Wipe the skillet and add the butter. Cook until the butter is melted and starts to brown. Add the lemon juice. Pour the butter over the fish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

FRENCH-STYLE FLOUNDER

Steps:

• I used an oven-safe multi-clad saute pan, about 12 inches across, and it worked perfectly. I'm sure a sheet pan would work as well. 1. rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels 2. heat the oven to 350/375 3. pour a little olive oil in the pan 4. dust both sides of the fish with the sea salt/pepper/herbs if you have them 5. slice cherry tomatoes in half, drop them in 6. drop in olives, pits intact 7. dribble olive oil and a sprinkling of salt over the tomatoes 8. place in the oven until done to your liking - 15-20 minutes. It's best when it's just cooked through and very tender, but I accidentally left it in a bit longer and it was still delicious!
