EASY GARLIC PARMESAN BAKED FLOUNDER RECIPE (20 MINS)



Easy Garlic Parmesan Baked Flounder Recipe (20 mins) image

This one-pan baked flounder recipe with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and vegetables is easy and so delicious (thanks to a bold and lemony sauce with Mediterranean spices!). If you can't find flounder, any mild white fish would work, such as Dover sole, halibut, or branzino filet will work. Choose thinner fish filets if possible. Serve baked flounder with potatoes or greens like broccoli or a green bean salad.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ pound flounder fillet, (sole fillet will also work)
2 medium zucchini, (halved and cut into ½-inch slices (half moons))
1 small red onion, (halved and cut into ½-inch slices (half moons))
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, (minced)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
Juice of 2 lemons, (plus more lemon wedges for serving)
¼ cup to 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat the fish dry and season it well with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Arrange the fish in a large pan and add the zucchini and onions next to it and season them with salt and pepper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the garlic, spices, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the sauce all over the fish and vegetables.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for the sweat and for seasoning fillets
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (10-ounce package) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 lemon, zested
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning fillets
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine
10 ounces grated Cheddar
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flounder fillets
3 cups leftover cooked rice

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.

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Flounder Fillets With Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Robert Farrar Capon

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 small or 1 large flounder fillet
4 tablespoons clarified butter, or oil
2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter
2 tablespoons chopped shallots or onion
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fish stock (optional)
1/4 teaspoon crushed thyme
1 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, with juice
Salt and pepper as desired
2 to 4 tablespoons additional cold, unsalted regular butter, cut up
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked pasta, or cooked orzo

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to low, or 150 degrees. Mix the flour, salt and pepper and dip the fillets in the mixture to coat both sides. Shake off the excess. Heat a large skillet very hot, add the clarified butter and when it is very hot fry the fillets quickly, turning them once, until they are golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes or less, all told). Remove the fillets to dinner plates and keep warm in the oven.
  • Pour off any remaining clarified butter or oil from the skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter and (still over high heat) add the shallots and saute 30 seconds. Add the wine and fish stock and boil hard until it is almost gone. Add the thyme and chopped tomatoes and boil briefly until slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper, remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the additional regular butter bit by bit, incorporating each piece almost completely before adding the next. Warm the sauce again if necessary, but do not let it boil.
  • Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the fish fillets in the oven, return the skillet to the heat, add the chopped pasta and toss with the rest of the sauce until heated through. Spoon the pasta onto the dinner plates and serve with a tossed salad.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (I use lemon pepper)
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 (6 ounce) flounder fillets
cooking spray
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons capers, drained
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Sprinkle pepper (lemon pepper) and salt evenly over fillets. Place fish on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle fish evenly with the minced garlic. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes; sprinkle evenly with dill. Bake an additional 2 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the flounder from sticking.
  • Make sure the flounder is cooked through. The flesh of the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Don't overcook the flounder, or it will become tough and dry.
  • For a lighter sauce, use low-fat milk or cream instead of heavy cream.
  • You can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as chopped onion, garlic, or mushrooms.
  • Serve the flounder with steamed vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Baked flounder with low-fat cream sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. The flounder is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is low in fat and calories. This dish is a great choice for those who are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal.
