FLOUNDER FRANCAISE OR CHICKEN FRANCAISE
I love this tangy lemon flavored sauce. It's quick, tasty and light. I serve it on a bed of buttered spaghetti or rice for my family. I'm a diabetic so I serve mine over spaghetti squash or zucchini. It's just perfect either way. You can use this recipe for chicken as well, just substitute 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half to make 4 thin fillets.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Place the flour and all the seasonings in a plastic bag and shake to blend.
- Place the beaten eggs in a shallow dish.
- When the skillet is good and hot, put the flounder fillets in the bag one at a time and then dip in the egg. Coat them completely with the egg and place in skillet. The egg should sizzle immediately. If it doesn't, the oil isn't hot enough.
- Save 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for the sauce.
- Fry over medium heat until brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add extra butter if you need to.
- Remove from skillet, keep warm.
- Discard any oil left in skillet and add the butter and the 1 tbsp of seasoned flour reserved from the flounder. Whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, stirring constantly until well blended. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If the sauce thickens too much, add more water- just 1 tsp at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
- To serve place flounder over a bed of buttered rice (or whatever you're using) and pour a little sauce over each fillet. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Flounder: Choose firm and fresh flounder fillets with a mild, sweet flavor. Look for fillets that are opaque and have a slight sheen.
- Proper Seasoning: Before cooking, season the flounder fillets generously with salt and pepper. This enhances the natural flavor of the fish and adds depth to the dish.
- Dredging Technique: To achieve a crispy coating, dredge the flounder fillets in a mixture of flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat the fillets evenly to ensure a golden-brown crust.
- Frying the Flounder: Heat a large skillet with clarified butter or a mixture of butter and oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the dredged flounder fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauce Preparation: While the flounder is cooking, prepare the lemon-butter sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon juice, white wine, shallots, and parsley. Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly.
- Assembly and Serving: Once the flounder fillets are cooked and the sauce is ready, transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Generously spoon the lemon-butter sauce over the fillets and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
