Categories     dinner, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 skinless, boneless fillets of flounder, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup flour
2 or more tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place the fillets on a flat surface and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Break the egg into a shallow wide dish and add salt, pepper and water. Beat well to blend.
  • Spoon the flour onto a flat dish.
  • Dip the fillets in the flour. Coat well on all sides, but shake off excess flour.
  • Dip the fillets in the egg mixture to coat well on all sides. Drain off excess egg mixture.
  • Heat enough oil in a skillet to coat the bottom lightly. Add a few pieces of fish at one time in a single layer without crowding. Let cook about 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown on one side. Turn the pieces carefully and cook on the second side about one minute or until golden brown. Carefully transfer the pieces to a warm serving platter.
  • Continue cooking the fish a few pieces at a time, adding more oil as necessary.
  • Wipe the skillet and add the butter. Cook until the butter is melted and starts to brown. Add the lemon juice. Pour the butter over the fish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The lemon and parsley brighten up the fish, while the butter and breadcrumbs add a richness and depth of flavor.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The flounder cooks up in just a few minutes, and the whole dish can be on the table in under 30 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my flounder fillets were a hit with my family. Even my kids, who are picky eaters, loved it.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The flounder was so delicious, I couldn't get enough.

This was my first time cooking flounder, and it was so easy! The recipe was clear and concise, and the fish cooked up in no time.

My flounder fillets turned out perfectly tender and flaky, with a crispy, buttery crust. The lemon and parsley added a bright, fresh flavor that complemented the fish beautifully.
