Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 small skinless fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds total
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large egg
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
3/4 cup pecans chopped fine with a food processor or heavy knife
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped coriander or parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  • With a fork or a wire whisk, beat the egg with the water and soy sauce.
  • Place the chopped nuts on a flat dish. Dip the fillets one at a time into the egg mixture until well coated. Remove the excess. Then dredge the fillets in the chopped nuts. Pat them firmly so they are evenly coated.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add as many fillets as will fit without crowding. Saute for a total of about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillets. Add more oil as necessary. Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
  • When all the fillets are cooked, wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add olive oil and butter. Cook until butter foams and starts to brown. Add lime juice and pour the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately.

This dish was a disappointment. The flounder was dry and the pecan topping was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a keeper! The flounder was cooked to perfection and the pecan topping was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

The flounder was cooked perfectly and the pecan topping added a nice crunch. However, the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time I will try using less salt.

This recipe was a disaster! The flounder was mushy and the pecan topping was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad, but not great. The flounder was a bit overcooked and the pecan topping was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the flounder was cooked perfectly. However, the pecan topping was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I will try using a different nut.

Not a huge fan of pecans, but this dish was still very good. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. Would definitely make again with a different nut.
