FLOUNDER MILANESE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
- Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:
- For the sweet pepper mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, peppers, cornichon, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season with hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate while you make the flounder.
- For the flounder: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the flounder crosswise into pieces about as thick as 2 fingers. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, seafood seasoning and baking powder in a large bowl (no need for salt as the Old Bay has salt in it). Whisk in the club soda to make a smooth batter slightly thinner than pancake batter.
- Spread flour for dredging on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge half of the flounder in the flour, then dip in the batter and add to the hot oil. Fry until golden and very crisp, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Return the oil to 375 degrees F and immediately dredge, batter and fry the second batch. Serve right away with the sweet pepper mayo.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH ROASTED TOMATOES
Here, Dijon mustard serves a dual purpose: It flavors the delicate fish, and helps the breadcrumb coating stay in place as the fish cooks. Tilapia can be used in place of the flounder.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH HERBED MAYO AND VERMOUTH
From an old cookbook submitted by someone named Brewster D. Dogget of Wiscasset, Maine. I had cut this out of the book but haven't made it yet. I make a similar fish with mayo that my mother in law gave me but this is a little different with the vermouth. I broil my fish at the end for a brief time until it just starts to brown. Hope you like this.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to low, or 150 degrees. Mix the flour, salt and pepper and dip the fillets in the mixture to coat both sides. Shake off the 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, all told). Remove the 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 shallots and saute 30 seconds. Add the wine and fish stock and boil hard until it is almost gone. Add the thyme and chopped tomatoes and boil briefly until slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper, remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the additional regular 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 fish 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.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.

Stir in capers, salt, and pepper, then transfer to a 2-quart gratin dish or other wide shallow baking dish.
- Prepare flounder:

- Drizzle wine carefully around fish into sauce (not over fish) and bake in middle of oven until fish is just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
BAKED FLOUNDER WITH TARTAR SAUCE
For a fresh take on flounder, I came up with an oven-baked, lightly breaded fillet teamed with tarragon tartar sauce. Lake perch, tilapia, sole and orange roughy work just as well in this recipe. -Phyllis Schmalz, Kansas City, Kansas

- If you're using frozen flounder, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold water.
- To prevent the fish from sticking to the baking dish, grease it lightly with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil.
- For a crispy crust, broil the fish for a few minutes at the end of baking.
- Serve the flounder immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
