FLOUNDER PICCATA WITH HARICOTS VERTS AND MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Make an ice bath with salted water.
- Blanch the haricots verts in the boiling water until tender but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately shock in the ice bath to stop cooking. Drain the excess water and set aside on a sheet tray.
- Coat a small saute pan with olive oil and add 1 tablespoon of the shallots and some salt (save the remaining shallots for the sauce). Sweat over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 1 minute, then add the mushrooms. Stir and cook until the mushrooms start to soften, 2 minutes more. Add a pinch of salt and the crushed red pepper flakes and continue cooking until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the haricots verts to the pan and toss to coat. Taste for seasoning and set aside.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish. Coat a large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high until the skillet is hot. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and dredge in the flour. Gently shake off the excess flour and lay the fish skin-side down in the oil. Cook until the outside edges of the first side turn white and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until the fish turns white and opaque, 1 minute more. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on plates or a platter.
- Use a paper towel to carefully wipe out the skillet used to cook the fish. Lower the heat to medium and lightly coat with olive oil. Add the remaining diced shallot with a pinch of salt and sweat until the shallots soften, about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and chopped lemon supremes and cook, stirring often, until it comes to a boil. Add the capers, lemon juice and lemon zest and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the chicken stock and a pinch of salt and continue to reduce at a simmer by half.
- Add a pat of butter and cook, swirling the pan, until melted, then add another pat. As the butter melts, swirl the pan to fully incorporate. Continue adding butter, one pat at a time, until the sauce is thickened. (You should need between 3 and 4 pats total.) If the sauce reduces too much, adjust with a small splash of chicken stock to thin it out. Season to taste with salt and stir in the parsley.
- Arrange the haricots verts and mushrooms next to the fish on plates. Top the fish with the sauce and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Steps:
- Place the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the flounder on both sides with the seasoned flour. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the flounder in the pan and saute on one side for about 90 seconds. Turn the fish over. Squeeze the lemon juice on the fish and sprinkle the scallions evenly over the fillets. Cook for 30 seconds and divide among 4 warm plates.
- Place the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Saute until soft, shaking the pan constantly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine, increase the heat to high and continue to cook for about 1 minute, until the smell of alcohol disappears. Remove the pan from the heat, add the spinach and toss quickly until it barely wilts. Taste and season again with salt and pepper. Divide the spinach over each flounder fillet and serve immediately.

FLUKE AU GRATIN
This is a very old recipe, taken from the kitchen of Henri's in Lynbrook, N.Y., opened by an extravagant French restaurateur named Henri Charpentier in 1910. It asks for flounder, known on Long Island as fluke, but you could make it with cod or haddock or halibut, with freshwater trout or catfish, with any mild-flavored fish. It's an elegant and really quite simple preparation, the fish fillets baked on top of and beneath a butter sauce cooked with chopped shallots, garlic, chives, parsley and minced mushrooms, brightened with lemon juice and white wine, and with bread crumbs, sliced mushrooms and dots of butter strewn across the top. You can make the sauce in the morning, if you like, and assemble the dish for the oven just before dinner, making it a breeze for weeknight entertaining. But it's no stretch to do it all, as Charpentier might have said, "à la minute."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. When it foams, add the shallot, garlic, minced mushrooms, chives and parsley; stir to combine. Sauté until the garlic starts to toast and turn golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of the wine, the vinegar and lemon juice. Let cook until the liquid is reduced by half, stirring frequently, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Butter a casserole or baking dish large enough to accommodate the fillets of fish in one even layer, and spoon half the sautéed mushroom mixture into it. Arrange the fillets on top, season them with salt and pepper, and cover with the sliced mushrooms.
- Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine into the sautéed mushroom mixture, and drizzle it evenly over the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, and dot over the top.
- Roast until the top is golden and the fish is opaque and flaky, about 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.

- Season the flounder fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the flounder fillets over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
