Nut Crusted 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.

PECAN CRUSTED FLOUNDER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and make sure fish is defrosted if using frozen.
• In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth in a bowl.
• Put ground nuts on a large plate.
• Dredge each piece of fish in egg and then dip in the ground nuts. Nut mixture will not stick as well as flour and this is ok. You should have some leftover nut meal after lightly coating the fish.
• Carefully place each piece in a large baking dish.
• After all fish is in dish, top with any remaining ground nuts and pat down.
• Pour melted butter or ghee over fillets.
• Put fish into preheated oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and starting to flake.
• While cooking, prepare salad by washing spinach and lettuce and topping with desired toppings: pumpkin seeds, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, and homemade dressing of choice.
• Serve and enjoy!

NUT-CRUSTED FLOUNDER FILLETS RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix mustard, mayo, garlic powder and pepper until well blended. Place fish in single layer on lightly greased baking sheet; spread evenly with the mustard mixture. Sprinkle with the chopped nut mix. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.

FLOUNDER WITH MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Put the macadamia nuts on a flat surface and, with a knife rather than a food processor or a blender, chop them as finely as possible.
• Sprinkle the fillets evenly on both sides with the macadamia nuts, patting them firmly so that they are evenly coated and the nuts adhere.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil at a time in a skillet, preferably of the non-stick variety, and when it is hot add a few of the fish fillets. Cook, turning once, about 1 1/2 minutes or slightly less. Cook only until browned on both sides, adding a little more oil as necessary. Transfer the fillets to a warm platter and cook the remaining fish fillets.
• Small amounts of the chopped nuts will fall into the skillet as each batch is cooked. Wipe out the excess as necessary and continue cooking, adding a little more oil as necessary.
• When all the fish fillets are cooked, wipe out the skillet and add the butter and any leftover macadamia nuts. Cook until the butter is foamy and starts to brown. Add the lemon juice and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH PANKO AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a large, shallow baking dish.
• Arrange flounder fillets on prepared baking dish and brush with 1 tablespoon butter. Combine remaining 3 tablespoons butter with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl; sprinkle over flounder.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully transfer fillets to a plate with a spatula.

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED FLOUNDER WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Make tartar sauce:
• Pulse all sauce ingredients in a blender until parsley is finely chopped.
• Cook fish:
• Stir together cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in a shallow bowl. Stir together flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in another shallow bowl. Lightly beat together eggs, milk, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a third shallow bowl.
• Pat fish dry and dip fillets, 1 at a time, in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and dredge in cornmeal until evenly coated. Arrange fish in 1 layer on a sheet of wax paper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry fillets, 2 at a time, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve fish with sauce.
