Tips:
- Choose the right flounder. Look for flounder fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong fishy smell.
- Prepare the flounder properly. Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the fillets with salt and pepper, or your favorite fish seasoning.
- Cook the flounder carefully. Flounder is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Pan-frying or baking are good methods for cooking flounder. Avoid overcooking the fish, as it will become tough and dry.
- Pair the flounder with complementary flavors. Flounder pairs well with a variety of flavors, including citrus, herbs, and nuts. Bananas, almonds, and rum are all great choices for pairing with flounder.
