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.

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.
