FLOUNDER WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON AND TARRAGON
The flatfish family is comprised of numerous popular fish, including sole, halibut and flounder. But all the various boneless fillets are relatively interchangeable and can be prepared in more or less the same way, adjusting cooking time according to size. These pan-cooked fillets are quick, simple and elegant.

RAMP BUTTER
Ramp season is long awaited and often fleeting, so when they are finally available at the farmers' market we find ourselves buying as many ramps as we can and preserving them in different ways for the months to come. This butter is one of our favorite preparations. Blanching the ramps first helps to soften their often sharp flavor and extends their freezer life. The ways to use this delectable butter are endless, but some of our favorites are melting a slice on grilled steak, stuffing it into a baked potato or slathering it on fresh corn.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; prepare a large bowl of ice water. Add the ramps to the boiling water and stir to submerge. Let cook until wilted and dark green, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer to the ice water with tongs and swirl around until completely cooled. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Roughly chop the ramps and transfer to a food processor (see Cook's Note). Pulse the ramps until they are finely chopped, about 8 pulses. Add the butter, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and the crushed red pepper flakes if using. Process, scraping down the sides halfway through, until the butter is dark green and everything is well combined, about 2 minutes.
- There are several ways to store the ramp butter. You can transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 7 days. You can also transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log, tying off the ends to fully enclose it. Freeze the log for up to 3 months, slicing off pats of butter and re-wrapping whenever you want some.

FLOUNDER WITH HERB BLOSSOM BUTTER
Herb blossom butter sounds fancy, but it's really just a prettier, more floral, summery version of herb butter, perfect with any white-fleshed fish, salmon or trout. If you have no access to flowering herbs, simply use chives, thyme and dill instead to make a plain herb butter. Look for herb blossoms at farmers markets or buy a couple of blooming potted herb plants, or ask a friend with a vegetable garden. Edible flowers and all sorts of herb blossoms are also available online.

Steps:
- Make the herb blossom butter: Put butter in a bowl. Add chives, chive blossoms, dill, thyme blossoms, mustard blossoms if using, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well with a fork until well combined. With wet hands, form butter into a log shape, then wrap and chill. Bring to cool room temperature to serve.
- Prepare the fish: Put flour in a low bowl or pie plate and season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
- Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet in seasoned flour on both sides, shaking off excess, and transfer to a large plate.
- Put 2 large skillets over medium-high heat and film bottoms with oil. When oil is hot, carefully place 2 fillets in each pan. (Alternatively, work in batches with 1 pan.)
- Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until fish is nicely browned on one side. Flip fillets with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes more, until fish flakes easily when probed.
- Transfer fish to warm platter or individual warmed plates. With a paring knife, cut herb butter into 8 thin slices and lay 2 slices atop each fillet. Sprinkle with extra herb blossoms, if you wish, and serve immediately.

- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the fillets. This will prevent them from sticking and breaking apart.

- Baste the fillets with the seasoned brown butter while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the fillets immediately with the remaining seasoned brown butter. They can be garnished with fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
Conclusion:
