Method

Preparing the Flounder

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fillets

    Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Bread the Flounder

    Dredge each flounder fillet in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Return the fillet to the flour to coat again, shaking off excess.

  4. 4

    Cook the Flounder

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded flounder fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In the same skillet used for the flounder, add the chicken broth and capers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  2. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Add the fresh lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Return the flounder fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
