Lower the heat and vigorously whisk in the unsalted butter bit by bit, incorporating each piece almost completely before adding the next. As the last piece disappears, remove the pan from the heat. Do not boil the sauce after all the butter is in. 3.
- Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the 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 WITH WHITE WINE SAUCE
Found in the magazine DeenBros Good Cooking. I am going to try this in the oven and bake it...what a simple and easy clean-up. Of course, it would take longer to bake (for the cooking time).

Tips:
- Choose the right flounder fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and white, with no brown or yellow spots. Avoid fillets that are thin or have been frozen for a long time.
- Season the flounder fillets generously. This will help to enhance their flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the flounder fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Make sure the white wine sauce is smooth and creamy. You can do this by whisking it constantly while it is cooking. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or milk.
- Serve the flounder fillets with the white wine sauce immediately. This will ensure that the fish is hot and the sauce is still warm.

Flounder with white wine sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The flounder fillets are delicate and flaky, and the white wine sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
