Ellens Crispy Flounder Fillets Recipes

BUFFALO FLOUNDER FILLETS

Steps:

• Place flounder and cayenne pepper sauce in a large resealable plastic bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
• Place corn flour in a shallow pan. Remove fillets, reserving marinade in the bag, and carefully dredge in the corn flour one at a time, coating completely and transferring to a plate.
• Dip each coated fillet back into the marinade, dredge again in corn flour, and dip in the marinade again. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Heat butter and olive in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling. Arrange fillets in the skillet so they are not touching and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip fillets carefully with a wide, nonstick spatula and cook until second side is browned, about 3 minutes more. Serve with blue cheese dressing.

CRISPY DEEP-FRIED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 200 F, to keep fried fish warm while frying subsequent batches.
• Place the flounder fillets in a shallow baking dish; pour in enough milk or buttermilk to cover the fillets. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix or baking mix and cornmeal; stir to blend.
• In a deep heavy skillet or sauté pan, heat about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil to 365 F (185 C). If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, toss a 1-inch cube of bread into the hot oil. It should turn golden brown in 1 minute.
• Drain the fish using a colander.
• Dredge each piece in the baking mix and cornmeal mixture, coating the fillets thoroughly on both sides. Shake off any excess.
• Add the fish fillets to hot oil and fry.
• Turn once after about 2 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on both sides (about 4 minutes total). Fry a few at a time to keep the oil temperature from dropping. If the temperature drops significantly and does not recover quickly, the coating will absorb more oil.
• Drain the flounder fillets on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt, to taste.
• Transfer the fried fish to a rack in a baking pan and keep warm in the preheated oven for up to 20 minutes, if desired.
• Serve fried flounder hot, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs, if desired.

SUSAN'S CRISPY FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Put flour in a bowl.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, mustard and salt.
• Place panko crumbs in yet another bowl and add in garlic and pepper.
• Dust fillets with flour, then dip in egg/mustard mixture and then press into panko.
• Heat enough oil to fry one fillet in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each fillet individually and put a small amount of oil in before each fillet rather than the full 1/4 cup all at once since it seems doing it this way causes me to use WAY more oil than needed.
• Fry fish fillets in oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
• Serve with fresh squeezed lemons.
