How to cook flounder?

[aandd]

I bought some flounder, but I"m not sure how best to cook it. Should I just bake it in the oven? Most of the recipes I found stuffed, rolled it, or breaded it... and I want to keep it as carb light as possible.

you could grill, pan fry (with some Pam), bake or broil it. Just have to watch it so that it doesn't dry out. Add your fav. seasonings too.

flounder is similiar in texture and taste to sole and vaguely to halibut
so about any way you'd prepare those would apply to flounder

two of my favourite ways are:

1. almondine, either crust with almond flour or just sautee it in some butter, let the butter brown a bit, if not using almond flour, add sliced almonds, then alittle lemon juice, a splash of white wine and some ply finish with sea salt and fresh pepper

2. alpha lipoic acid nage, in a pan add alittle white wine, fish stock/clam juice/water to cover the fish, add julienned leeks, carrots, and celery, saffron and/or fennel bulb optional, a sprig of thyme, a pat of butter, sea salt and pepper, poach (just below a boil) till done with flounder that's a few minutes until the flesh gets white and flaky...serve in broth

there are many ways if you want different ways let me know i can suggest some asian flavours, italian, english, etc

Ahhhhhhhhh Obi!! Always a delicious response.....

Also: Take a piece of tin foil & fold it in half & spray with cooking spray. Place fish on 1/2 of the foil, season as desired (Mrs Dash, lemon juice, lime juice, pepper, etc) & fold the foil over.....folding the 3 sides to form a pouch & bake at 350 for about 20 mins....

Sprinkle with pepper, garlic powder, Mrs Dash Xtra y & Mrs Dash Italian Seasoning. Spoon a couple spoonfuls of Canned Diced Tomatoes over the top of the fish.

Quote posted by jenscats5 Again, Tilapia simply baked with lemon/lime juice, Cajun e, pepper and/or any Mrs Dash flavors....be sure to spray the pan with cooking spray so it won't stick.... Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb is good & you could bake the fish with that & some veggie broth.... Tomato Herb Mrs Dash with some canned diced tomatoes.... Mrs Dash Extra y + some broth or some of the Jalapeno Diced Tomatoes Lemon Pepper seasoning + a little extra lemon juice or broth Here's a recipe from M&F Hers this month that sounds good: Snapper Vera Cruz 1/3 cup chopped onion 2 large garlic cloves, minced or crushed 2/3 cup chopped, seeded fresh plum tomatoes (or canned diced tomatoes) 2 Tblsp minced fresh Jalapeno chili peppers 1/4 up finely chopped green olives (about 6 Queen Size) 1 Tblsp. capers 1/4 tsp. salt 3 Tblsp water 2 snapper fillets, 6 oz each (or halibut or haddock) 1 whole lime Cooking spray Spray a medium frying pan with spray & place it over medium-high heat. Add onion & garlic & cook until tender, but not browned, approx. 3-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, jalapenos, olives, capers, salt & water. Allow mixture to boil, cover pan, then reduce heat & simmer until tomatoes are slightly softened & warm, approx. 7-10 minutes. Add fish to simmering sauce & squeeze juice of the entire lime over the fillets. Spoon some sauce on top, then cover pan & cook about 6-10 minutes until fish is no longer translucent. Serve immediately.
