Nut Crusted Flounder Food

FLOUNDER FRANCESE WITH TOASTED ALMONDS, LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Toast almonds over moderate heat and reserve.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with cream. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 2 turns of the pan then add 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces. Dip the fish into the eggs and cook on both sides until just golden, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer fish to a plate and cover with loose a foil tent to retain heat.
• Add wine to the pan and reduce by half, 1 minute, then add 1 tablespoon butter and a handful of parsley to the pan. Stir in the lemon juice and zest and the capers. Turn off heat. Pour sauce over fish and top with sliced almonds.
• Return skillet to heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 more turns of the pan. Add chopped garlic and let it speak by coming to a sizzle. Wilt in spinach, turning to coat in extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Serve spinach alongside flounder.

FLOUNDER WITH MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Put the macadamia nuts on a flat surface and, with a knife rather than a food processor or a blender, chop them as finely as possible.
• Sprinkle the fillets evenly on both sides with the macadamia nuts, patting them firmly so that they are evenly coated and the nuts adhere.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil at a time in a skillet, preferably of the non-stick variety, and when it is hot add a few of the fish fillets. Cook, turning once, about 1 1/2 minutes or slightly less. Cook only until browned on both sides, adding a little more oil as necessary. Transfer the fillets to a warm platter and cook the remaining fish fillets.
• Small amounts of the chopped nuts will fall into the skillet as each batch is cooked. Wipe out the excess as necessary and continue cooking, adding a little more oil as necessary.
• When all the fish fillets are cooked, wipe out the skillet and add the butter and any leftover macadamia nuts. Cook until the butter is foamy and starts to brown. Add the lemon juice and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH CHOPPED PECANS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• With a fork or a wire whisk, beat the egg with the water and soy sauce.
• Place the chopped nuts on a flat dish. Dip the fillets one at a time into the egg mixture until well coated. Remove the excess. Then dredge the fillets in the chopped nuts. Pat them firmly so they are evenly coated.
• Heat one tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add as many fillets as will fit without crowding. Saute for a total of about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillets. Add more oil as necessary. Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
• When all the fillets are cooked, wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add olive oil and butter. Cook until butter foams and starts to brown. Add lime juice and pour the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately.
