Fiesta Flounder Fillets Food

FLOUNDER MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

EASY FRIED FLOUNDER RECIPE

Steps:

• Dip the flounder fillets in the egg wash (beaten eggs with water or milk) and allow them to drain the excess egg wash off for a few seconds.
• Dredge the flounder in the seasoned bread crumbs, completely coating the fillets.
• Heat a deep frying pan with enough oil to cover the flounder while its cooking. About an inch depth of oil should be enough. Too little oil and the fish will stick ot the pan. It should be able to float as it cooks.Gently press the flounder down to get the top of the fish cooked properly. If you are able to turn the flounder without breaking it, go for it. But remember the flounder is a very delicate fish.
• When the flounder is floating (about 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets) it should be fully cooked.
• Allow the flounder to drain on paper towels briefly, then serve and enjoy!
