BAKED FLOUNDER AND EGGS
Fish is a breakfast staple all over the world, from the grilled fish and rice of Japan, to kippers and eggs in England, to bagels-and-lox brunches. But here, fresh flounder for breakfast is exotic and unexpected. This recipe puts the fish and the eggs in one pan and adds a pungent green garnish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour butter in a 13-by-9-inch metal baking pan. Place fish in pan and turn to coat with butter. Season with about half the salt and paprika, and plenty of black pepper.
- Bake for 2 to 4 minutes, then add eggs (if you like runny eggs, add them after 3 or 4 minutes; for medium-firm but still slightly runny eggs, add them after 2 minutes, and for very firm eggs, you can add them along with the fish at the beginning). Crack eggs into pan in the corners; eggs should land next to, not on top of fish. Season eggs with remaining salt, paprika and more pepper. Continue baking until fish is just opaque and eggs are lightly set, 7 to 8 minutes more.
- Combine scallions, parsley and capers, if using. Transfer fish and eggs to serving plates; garnish with caper mixture.

EGG BATTER PAN-FRIED FLOUNDER WITH GREEN GARLIC
For savory, moist, delicate flounder, it is difficult to beat this fast, easy method. Lightly coat the fillets in flour, then dip them in a mixture of beaten egg and milk. Slide them into a hot skillet filled with oil to a 1/4-inch depth and let them fry until golden, a mere two minutes or so per side, without jostling them around too much. Serve with a sauce of green garlic cooked in butter, with the juice of half a lemon providing a jaunty, bright finish. A sprinkling of chopped parsley makes for an elegant presentation, lifting an already elevated weeknight dish. Use fluke or sole in place of the flounder if you'd like, or scallions for the green garlic.

Steps:
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Make the egg batter by whisking together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl, along with a pinch of salt.
- Put the flour on a plate. Coat each fillet lightly on both sides, then submerge the fish in the egg batter. (This can be done up to 30 minutes ahead.)
- Pour about 1/4 inch oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil looks wavy, lift the fish from the egg batter one piece at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off. (Discard remaining batter.) Carefully lay each fillet in the pan and let fry gently until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and blot briefly on paper towels, then transfer to a warmed serving platter.
- Pour off any remaining oil and return the pan to the heat. Melt the butter in the pan and add the green garlic, and a little salt and pepper. Let cook without browning for about 1 minute, then add the lemon juice.
- Spoon the green garlic butter over the fish. Sprinkle with parsley, garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

- For the best results, use fresh flounder fillets. If you're using frozen fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Season the flounder fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the flounder fillets. They should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center.
- Serve the flounder fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some suggestions include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
