In this delectable expedition, we present you with a symphony of Spanish flounder recipes that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to the sun-kissed shores of this enchanting country.

Our culinary voyage begins with a classic Spanish flounder a la plancha, where the delicate fish is expertly seared until crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Accompanied by a zesty lemon-herb sauce, this dish is a testament to the simplicity and elegance of Spanish cuisine.

Next, we venture into the realm of Spanish flounder en papillote, a delightful method of cooking that seals the fish and vegetables in parchment paper, allowing them to steam gently in their own juices. The result is a tender and succulent fish infused with the aromatic flavors of the accompanying vegetables and herbs.

For those who seek a more vibrant and flavorful experience, the Spanish flounder in saffron sauce awaits. This vibrant dish showcases the vibrant hues and distinct aroma of saffron, a precious spice that lends its golden color and unique flavor to the delicate fish.

Last but not least, we present Spanish flounder with romesco sauce, a delightful combination of roasted red peppers, almonds, and hazelnuts that creates a rich and nutty sauce. This sauce adds a layer of complexity and depth to the mild flavor of the flounder, making it a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

Categories     dinner, pastas

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 small or 1 large flounder fillet
4 tablespoons clarified butter, or oil
2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter
1 teaspoon chopped garlic (or as desired)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fish stock (optional)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro, Chinese parsley)
1 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, with juice
Salt and pepper as desired
2 to 4 tablespoons additional cold, unsalted regular butter, cut up
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked pasta, or cooked orzo

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to low. Mix the flour, salt and pepper together and dip the fillets in the mixture to coat both sides. Shake off excess. Heat a large skillet very hot, add the clarified butter and when it is very hot fry the fillets quickly, turning them once, until they are golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes or less, altogether). Remove fillets to dinner plates and keep warm in the oven.
  • Pour off any remaining clarified butter or oil from the skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter and (still over high heat) add the garlic and saute 10-15 seconds. Add the wine and fish stock, oregano, cumin and red pepper and boil hard until the liquid is reduced to almost nothing. Add the coriander and tomatoes and boil until slightly reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the additional butter bit by bit, incorporating each piece almost completely before adding the next. Warm the sauce again if necessary, but do not let it boil.
  • 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.
