Cheesy Broiled Flounder Recipes

FLOUNDER MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

BROILED FLOUNDER (SO EASY!)

Steps:

• Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly brush foil with small amount of butter.
• Arrange fish fillets on foil. Brush fillets with remaining butter. Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on fillets.
• Broil five inches from heat 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Squeeze lemon wedges over fillets.

PARMESAN BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Place fillets in a single layer on a lightly greased or pan sprayed, shallow oven-to-table type broiler pan. Brush with lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients to make the cheese topping mixture. Set aside.
• Broil fillets 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and temperature of your oven/broiler.).
• Remove fillets from oven. Spread with Parmesan topping.
• Broil an additional 30 seconds or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly (be careful to watch it, or it can burn).
• Garnish with lemon twists and parsley, if desired.
• Note: Mushy cooked fish is a result of either 1) overcooking/overheating, or 2) over-marinating (which, science-wise, is another method of partial cooking, depending on the marinade). Since the flounder in the recipe is not marinated, if the fish comes out mushy I suspect the results are the from overcooking. Either the fish was left under the broiler for too long, the temperature of the broiler is too high, or the rack on which the the pan placed under the broiler is too close to the heat.
