Preparation

1. Prepare the Gastrique

In a saucepan, combine lemon juice and sugar over medium heat. Simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

2. Make the Roasted Garlic Mayo

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and roasted garlic. Mash the garlic into the mayo until well blended. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Flounder

In three separate bowls, set up a breading station: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal. Dip each flounder fillet first in flour, then in egg, and finally in cornmeal.

4. Fry the Flounder

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each breaded flounder fillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

5. Cut the Potatoes for Fries

Cut the potatoes into fries and fry in oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Assembly

6. Assemble the Dish

Slice the baguette and spread the roasted garlic mayo on one side. Layer with lettuce and the fried flounder. Drizzle with Texas Pete aioli and serve with lemon gastrique on the side. Add house-cut fries to the plate.
