Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup walnuts
1 large clove garlic
Sea salt
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 pounds fresh flounder fillets
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a mortar and pestle, crush walnuts and garlic together, making a smooth paste. Season lightly with salt.
  • Place a small saucepan over medium heat and drop in 2 tablespoons butter. When it foams, add walnut paste and whisk for a minute. Pour in cream and whisk for another minute. Season to taste with salt, remove from heat and cover.
  • Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season fish on both sides with salt. When butter foams, place fillets in pan. Cook until white on edges, then carefully turn (it may take two spatulas, as fish is very delicate). Cook another minute, then transfer fish to a serving platter.
  • Put sauce back over medium heat, and whisk in a tablespoon or two of water, just enough to loosen it. When it bubbles on edge, spoon it over fish. Grind pepper over top and serve.
