Flounder Francaise Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Flounder

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

2. 2

   Dredge in Flour

   Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

3. 3

   Beat the Eggs

   In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

4. 4

   Coat the Fillets

   Dip each flounder fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are well coated.

5. 5

   Cook the Flounder

   In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add two fillets at a time and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more butter as needed.

6. 6

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

7. 7

   Finish the Sauce

   Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.

8. 8

   Serve

   Place the cooked flounder fillets on serving plates and drizzle with the white wine lemon sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
