FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TARTAR SAUCE
This is my family's method of making fried flounder. It is tried and true, and I have made only one change to it since the 1970s: I add a little mustard to the egg wash mix, which I learned in Louisiana. It adds a ton of flavor. You'll also see the homemade fries on the plate. If you want to make them, I followed this recipe from The Splendid Table.

Steps:
- For the tartar sauce, mix everything in a bowl and set it in the fridge. Salt the fish lightly on both sides and set aside.
- Set up a breading station. You will want plates or shallow bowls or somesuch. The first has the flour in it -- and if you want more seasoning than I am suggesting in this recipe, this is where you add it -- then another basin with the eggs, milk and mustard all beaten together, then the final basin with the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the flounder in the flour first, pressing it into the fish and making sure you get it totally covered. Now sweep the fillet through the egg wash, again making sure you get it totally coated. Finally, set it in the breadcrumbs and press them in to make a good coating. Set each fillet on a plate or tray in the fridge and let it rest 1 hour, and up to all day.
- When you are ready to fry, pour in enough oil to get to a depth of about 1 inch in a large frying pan. If you happen to me making the fries to go with this, make them first and hold them in the oven. Heat the oil over high heat. Set a rack over a baking sheet and put that in the oven. Set the oven to "warm."
- When the oil hits 350F, fry your fish, right from the fridge. This works because they are very thin, and you want a pretty golden crust without overcooking the fish. Room temperature flounder fried this way will overcook. It take about 3 to 5 minutes per side to get golden brown. Move each finished fillet to the rack in the oven. When they're all done, serve it up with the tartar sauce.

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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the lemons and onions in a 9 × 13-inch Pyrex baking dish. Dot with the butter; add the wine and 1/4 cup cold water. Sprinkle with the chopped thyme; season with salt and pepper. Bake until the onions are soft and translucent, about 40 minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure the flounder fillets are evenly cooked, make sure they are all of a similar thickness. If some fillets are thicker than others, pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are of uniform thickness.
- For a crispy coating, make sure the fillets are dry before dredging them in the flour mixture. If the fillets are wet, the flour will not adhere properly and the coating will not be as crispy.
- To prevent the fillets from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding them. The oil should be shimmering and hot enough to cause a sizzle when the fillets are added.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fillets. If the pan is too crowded, the fillets will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Fry the fillets in batches if necessary. If you have a large number of fillets to cook, fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
- Serve the flounder fillets immediately after cooking. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Golden Fried Flounder Fillets with Onion is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The flounder fillets are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the onion adds a delicious sweetness and flavor.
