FLOUNDER FRANCAISE OR CHICKEN FRANCAISE
I love this tangy lemon flavored sauce. It's quick, tasty and light. I serve it on a bed of buttered spaghetti or rice for my family. I'm a diabetic so I serve mine over spaghetti squash or zucchini. It's just perfect either way. You can use this recipe for chicken as well, just substitute 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half to make 4 thin fillets.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Place the flour and all the seasonings in a plastic bag and shake to blend.
- Place the beaten eggs in a shallow dish.
- When the skillet is good and hot, put the flounder fillets in the bag one at a time and then dip in the egg. Coat them completely with the egg and place in skillet. The egg should sizzle immediately. If it doesn't, the oil isn't hot enough.
- Save 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for the sauce.
- Fry over medium heat until brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add extra butter if you need to.
- Remove from skillet, keep warm.
- Discard any oil left in skillet and add the butter and the 1 tbsp of seasoned flour reserved from the flounder. Whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, stirring constantly until well blended. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If the sauce thickens too much, add more water- just 1 tsp at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
- To serve place flounder over a bed of buttered rice (or whatever you're using) and pour a little sauce over each fillet. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Tips:
- Ensure the flounder is fresh and of good quality. Fresh flounder should have a mild, slightly briny smell and firm, white flesh.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan that can accommodate the flounder fillets in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Heat the butter and oil over medium heat before adding the flounder fillets. This will help prevent the butter from burning and the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the flounder fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the flounder fillets immediately with the lemon butter sauce and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Flounder Francaise is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The delicate flavor of the flounder is perfectly complemented by the rich and buttery sauce.
