Flounder With Pink Grapefruit Recipes

FLOUNDER WITH PINK GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Peel grapefruit, removing all white pith. Hold grapefruit over a bowl and with a small, sharp knife, separate grapefruit into segments, cutting them away from the membrane that separates them. Reserve two tablespoons of the juice in the bowl. Set the segments and juice aside.
• Season the flour with salt and pepper (to taste) and spread it on a plate.
• Dip fish fillets into the four, dusting off any excess.
• Heat two tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet. Saute flounder about three minutes a side, until cooked through and lightly browned. If you cannot fit all the flounder into the pan at one time, do it in two shifts or use two pans.
• Remove flounder from pan and put on a warm plate. Add remaining butter and the shallots to pan and saute a few minutes.
• Add the grapefruit segments, juice and vinegar and bring to a simmer.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

SAUTEED FLOUNDER WITH RED GRAPEFRUIT BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. One at a time, dredge the fish fillets in the flour mixture.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the oil.
• Add the fish and cook until lightly browned and just opaque at the center, about 2 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
• Add the shallot to the pan and cook over medium-high, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until most of the wine has evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the grapefruit juice and mustard, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and tarragon. Transfer the fish to serving plates and top with the pan sauce.
