Best 8 Baked Flounder With Tomato Caper Sauce Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN BAKED FISH RECIPE WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Prepare the tomato and capers sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions, cook for 3 minutes until it begins to turn gold in color, tossing regularly. Add tomatoes, garlic, spices, pinch of salt (not too much) and pepper, capers, and raisins. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer for 15 minutes or so.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Pour 1/2 of the cooked tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9 1/2" x 13" baking dish. Arrange the fish on top. Add lemon juice and lemon zest, then top with the remaining tomato sauce.
• Bake in 400 degrees F heated-oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily (do not over-cook). Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or mint to your liking.
• Serve hot with Mediterranean grilled zucchini, Greek potatoes, or Lebanese rice. (See other suggestions for sides or salads up in the post)

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.

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

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.

FLOUNDER MEDITERRANEAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Plunge tomatoes into the boiling water and immediately remove to a medium bowl of ice water; drain. Remove and discard skins from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in olives, wine, capers, lemon juice, and 1/2 the basil. Reduce heat, blend in Parmesan cheese, and cook until the mixture is reduced to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
• Place flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour sauce over the fillets and top with remaining basil leaves.
• Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Make sauce:
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and fennel, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and wine and simmer briskly until liquid is reduced by one third, about 5 minutes. Stir in capers, salt, and pepper, then transfer to a 2-quart gratin dish or other wide shallow baking dish.
• Prepare flounder:
• Stir together bread crumbs, butter, salt, and pepper with a fork until combined. Season flounder with salt and pepper, then roll each fillet, skinned side up, into a cylinder and arrange, seam side down, on top of sauce. Gently press bread crumbs onto flounder.
• Drizzle wine carefully around fish into sauce (not over fish) and bake in middle of oven until fish is just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon tarragon, sugar, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange tomatoes cut side up. Roast on lower rack until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Keep oven on for fish.)
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon tarragon, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with oil. In a food processor, place bread, a pinch each salt and pepper, and remaining tablespoon oil; pulse until fine crumbs form.
• Lay fillets flat on prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Spread top sides with mustard; sprinkle with bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Bake on upper rack until fish is cooked through and crumbs are browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with tomatoes and sauce.

BAKED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
• Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
• Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.
