Flounder In Lemon And Wine Sauce Recipes

FLOUNDER FILLETS IN LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• First, thaw the frozen flounder fillets either on the counter or overnight in the fridge. Open the packages, and drain the excess water from their packaging. Give them a quick rinse under running water, and allow them to drain again.
• Next, in a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat olive oil and butter on low heat, until the butter melts.
• When the butter is melted, add the fillets to the skillet. Sprinkle over them with some sea salt, herbs de Provence, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook them on low heat for 30 seconds to one minute. They will start to release excess water, and that's fine.
• Pour in the wine and lemon juice, and sprinkle over them with freshly chopped parsley. Then cover with a lid.
• Simmer for 4 to 6 minutes or more, ( depending on how thick the fillets are) until the fish turns opaque-white-ish and the sauce is reduced a little. And the fish flakes off with a fork.
• When the flounder fillets are fully cooked. Turn off the heat. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the fish (about 1 tablespoon, or more). Then serve.
