Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 3-to-4-ounce flounder fillets or 2 8-ounce fillets, split down the center
3 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 lemon
1 scallion, trimmed and minced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups torn spinach leaves, cleaned and dried

Steps:

  • Place the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the flounder on both sides with the seasoned flour. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the flounder in the pan and saute on one side for about 90 seconds. Turn the fish over. Squeeze the lemon juice on the fish and sprinkle the scallions evenly over the fillets. Cook for 30 seconds and divide among 4 warm plates.
  • Place the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Saute until soft, shaking the pan constantly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine, increase the heat to high and continue to cook for about 1 minute, until the smell of alcohol disappears. Remove the pan from the heat, add the spinach and toss quickly until it barely wilts. Taste and season again with salt and pepper. Divide the spinach over each flounder fillet and serve immediately.

Flounder Saute With Asparagus And Crab Vinaigrette image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch asparagus (about 12 ounces), woody ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup lump crab meat, picked over for shells
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 3-to-4-ounce flounder fillets or 2 8-ounce fillets, split down the center

Steps:

  • Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch until tender, but not soft, about 3 minutes. Drain and place under cold running water until cool. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the lime juice and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Toss in the asparagus and crab meat and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Place the flour on a plate and season to taste with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the flounder on both sides with the seasoned flour. Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Place the flounder in the pan and saute on one side for about 90 seconds. Turn the fish over and immediately divide the asparagus and crab mixture evenly among each fillet, spooning the mixture into a mound. Remove from the heat. Cover the pan and let stand for 1 minute. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flounder: Look for firm, white fillets with no brown spots.
  • Rinse the flounder gently: Do not scrub the fish, as this can damage the delicate flesh.
  • Pat the flounder dry: This will help the fish to brown evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will prevent the fish from sticking and breaking apart.
  • Cook the flounder over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: This will also help to prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Flip the flounder gently: Use a spatula to carefully flip the fish halfway through cooking.
  • Cook the flounder until it is opaque and flakes easily: This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the flounder immediately: Flounder is best served hot, with your favorite sides.
