Steps:
- Sprinkle the flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- With a fork or a wire whisk, beat the egg with the water and soy sauce.
- Place the chopped nuts on a flat dish. Dip the fillets one at a time into the egg mixture until well coated. Remove the excess. Then dredge the fillets in the chopped nuts. Pat them firmly so they are evenly coated.
- Heat one tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add as many fillets as will fit without crowding. Saute for a total of about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the fillets. Add more oil as necessary. Transfer fillets to a warm serving plate or platter. Keep warm. Cook the remaining pieces.
- When all the fillets are cooked, wipe the pan clean with paper towels. Add olive oil and butter. Cook until butter foams and starts to brown. Add lime juice and pour the mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately.

BAKED FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH LEMON-PEPPER VEGETABLES
Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together the wine, the lemon juice, the parsley, the oil, the pepper, and salt to taste and add the onion. In another bowl toss together the carrots, the squash, and the zucchini, add about 1/4 cup of the liquid from the onion mixture, and toss the mixture well. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of a greased glass baking dish, 15 by 10 by 2 inches. On a work surface arrange the flounder fillet halves, skinned sides up, beginning with the narrow end roll up each fillet half jelly-roll fashion, and secure each roll with a wooden pick. Arrange the fish rolls, seam sides down and not touching each other, on the onion mixture, put an oiled sheet of parchment or wax paper directly on them, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 8 minutes. Spread the vegetable mixture around the rolls and bake the mixture, the fish covered directly with the parchment, for 7 to 12 minutes more, or until the fish just flakes. Transfer the vegetables to a heated platter, arrange the fish rolls on top of them, and spoon the juices over the top.
