Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 lbs flounder, flillets
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4-1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1/4 cup rum
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pinch ground nutmeg
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Warm oven to 200 degrees F. or lowest setting - to keep fish warm.
  • Mix the flour with the salt and pepper on a large plate.
  • Dredge the flounder in the flour, shake off excess, and dip in the beaten egg.
  • Combine the butter and oil in a large saute pan and put over med-high heat.
  • Add the flounder fillets and saute quickly, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside in a warm oven.
  • To the same pan, add the almonds and saute briefly, then add banana slices.
  • Hold pan away from the heat (very important so it doesn't flame) and add rum. * Never pour rum directly from the bottle into a hot pan, since it is highly flamable.
  • Return the pan to heat.
  • Add the butter and nutmeg - adjust seasoning.
  • Cook briefly and pour sauce over the flounder.
  • Enjoy!

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the bananas.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of bananas in savory dishes, but I'm so glad I did! The bananas actually added a really nice subtle sweetness to the fish. Will definitely be making this again.
