Broiled Swiss Flounder Food

BAKED STUFFED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saute pan over low heat, melt the butter; add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute. Add the spinach and lemon zest and cook until just heated through. Season with the salt and pepper, add the parsley, and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• Place the heavy cream and wine into a saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, gradually add the cheese and stir until melted. Set aside and keep warm.
• If the fillets are large, cut in half. Season each filet on both sides with salt and pepper. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the fillets and roll the fish around the mixture. Place the rice into a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and spread evenly. Place each roll on top of the rice, seam side down. Pour over the cheese sauce and place in the oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH PANKO AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a large, shallow baking dish.
• Arrange flounder fillets on prepared baking dish and brush with 1 tablespoon butter. Combine remaining 3 tablespoons butter with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl; sprinkle over flounder.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully transfer fillets to a plate with a spatula.

BROILED FLOUNDER (SO EASY!)

Steps:

• Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly brush foil with small amount of butter.
• Arrange fish fillets on foil. Brush fillets with remaining butter. Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on fillets.
• Broil five inches from heat 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Squeeze lemon wedges over fillets.

BROILED FLOUNDER WITH BUTTER AND LEMON

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler. In a glass baking dish add the lemon juice, chili flake, butter and olive oil. Place in oven for about one minute, just long enough to melt the butter and remove.
• Season fish lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the melted butter-lemon mixture and place under broiler for 6 to 8 minutes. To serve place on a serving plate and spoon the sauce from the dish on top.
• Note: Broilers that are under the oven can be too hot for this dish. Ideally you want the dish to broil at least ten to twelve inches below the fire. If your broiler is too close to the fish then use the same method except bake the fish in a 500 degree oven for a very similar effect.

BROILED FLOUNDER WITH BREAD CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic in oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and stir in bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat broiler.
• On a work surface arrange flounder skinned sides up and spread top with mayonnaise. Sprinkle flounder with bread crumb mixture and on oiled rack of a broiler pan broil about 6 inches from heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes.

BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Heat brolier on high.
• Score the fish in two or three spots on the dark side.
• Melt butter and worcestershire sauce with juce from half a lemon and garlic.
• Rub fish down with salt and pepper on both sides, depending on the size of your fish you might need more or less salt and pepper.
• Put fish under the broiler for 3 minuets.
• Slide the fish out of the broiler and paint it with butter and garlic sauce every minuet or so untill the fish is done. I follow this rule: if you can stick a toothpick into the widest part of the fish, then place the toothpick to your lips and the toothpick is warm, your fish is done.
• When fish is done drizzle with the juice from the other half of your lemon.
• I like putting the whole fish on the table and let everybody digin.

FRENCH BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Sauce: Put all sauce ingredients [everything labeled "for sauce"] together in blender and blend until smooth and refrigerate for 2 hours to "cure" or thicken a bit.
• Prep: Score top of flounder in diamond pattern, dash carefully with lemon juice, add garlic, and sprinkle with the pinch of white pepper.
• Brush liberally with sauce and broil for 2 minutes, brushing once more. Return to broil for 2-4 more minutes or until fish is light and flaky when prodded gently with fork.
• You should have enough sauce for 8 fish, and therefore [depending on how many fish you're baking], will have sauce left over for salad, vegetable dip, etc.

FLAVORFUL FLOUNDER FOR THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Season both sides of flounder fillets with salt. Place into the prepared baking dish. Brush 1 tablespoon lemon juice over fillets.
• Mix remaining lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, and green onions in a bowl; spoon over the fillets.
• Bake flounder in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Switch oven to broil; broil fillets until the tops are just browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
