Ingredients

5 roma (plum) tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ Spanish onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pinch Italian seasoning
24 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup capers
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
6 leaves fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound flounder fillets
6 leaves fresh basil, torn

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Plunge tomatoes into the boiling water and immediately remove to a medium bowl of ice water; drain. Remove and discard skins from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Place flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour sauce over the fillets and top with remaining basil leaves.
Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Ingredients

3/4 lb flounder fillets
oil, for coating baking pan
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 medium tomatoes, diced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil.
Place fish on the sheet and bake 15-20 minutes, depending upon thickness, testing with a fork to see if done. As soon as the fish becomes slightly opaque, they are done.

Tips:

Choose fresh flounder fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Use a light hand when breading the flounder. Too much breading will make the fish heavy and greasy. Just a light coating is all you need to achieve a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Fry the flounder in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from becoming soggy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the fish will not cook evenly.
Drain the flounder on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
Serve the flounder with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet pepper mayo is a great option, but you can also use tartar sauce, remoulade, or even just a squeeze of lemon.

Conclusion:

Fried flounder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special event, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give fried flounder a try. You won't be disappointed!
