FLOUNDER MEDITERRANEAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Plunge tomatoes into the boiling water and immediately remove to a medium bowl of ice water; drain. Remove and discard skins from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in olives, wine, capers, lemon juice, and 1/2 the basil. Reduce heat, blend in Parmesan cheese, and cook until the mixture is reduced to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
• Place flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour sauce over the fillets and top with remaining basil leaves.
• Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

BAKED FLOUNDER ROLLS WITH TOMATO, BELL PEPPER, AND BACON

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat until it is crisp, transfer it to paper towels to drain, and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the shallot and the bell pepper over moderately low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes, add the wine, and boil the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with the juice, the basil, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until it is thickened.
• On a work surface arrange the flounder fillet halves, skinned sides up, beginning with the narrow end roll up each fillet half jelly-roll fashion, and secure each roll with a wooden pick.
• In an oiled flameproof baking pan, 15 by 10 by 2 inches, arrange the fish rolls, seam sides down and not touching each other, pour the sauce evenly over them, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 10 minutes. In a bowl stir together the bread crumbs, the parsley, the bacon, and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the topping over the rolls. Drizzle the fish rolls with the oil and bake the mixture for 10 minutes, or until the fish just flakes. (For a crisper topping, the cooked mixture may be broiled under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes.) Transfer the fish rolls to a heated platter and spoon the sauce and topping over them.

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Butter a baking dish with two tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the fillets close together in one layer on the baking dish.
• Melt two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the onion and celery. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is wilted. Add the oysters and cook about 10 seconds. Add the scallions and cook about 10 seconds. Add the cooked rice, one-half cup bread crumbs, cream and egg. Bring to the boil, stirring. Add the cayenne, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Melt the remaining two tablespoons butter and brush the top of each fish fillet. Spoon equal portions of the wild-rice mixture on top of each fillet. Smooth the mixture almost but not quite to the edges of each fillet.
• Sprinkle the top of the fillets with equal portions of the remaining two tablespoons bread crumb and the cheese. Place in the oven and bake seven to 10 minutes. To provide a better glaze, run the dish under the broiler for a minute or less. Combine the melted butter and lemon juice and pour over the fillets when served.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Make sauce:
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and fennel, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and wine and simmer briskly until liquid is reduced by one third, about 5 minutes. Stir in capers, salt, and pepper, then transfer to a 2-quart gratin dish or other wide shallow baking dish.
• Prepare flounder:
• Stir together bread crumbs, butter, salt, and pepper with a fork until combined. Season flounder with salt and pepper, then roll each fillet, skinned side up, into a cylinder and arrange, seam side down, on top of sauce. Gently press bread crumbs onto flounder.
• Drizzle wine carefully around fish into sauce (not over fish) and bake in middle of oven until fish is just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to low, or 150 degrees. Mix the flour, salt and pepper and dip the fillets in the mixture to coat both sides. Shake off the excess. Heat a large skillet very hot, add the clarified butter and when it is very hot fry the fillets quickly, turning them once, until they are golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes or less, all told). Remove the fillets to dinner plates and keep warm in the oven.
• Pour off any remaining clarified butter or oil from the skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter and (still over high heat) add the shallots and saute 30 seconds. Add the wine and fish stock and boil hard until it is almost gone. Add the thyme and chopped tomatoes and boil briefly until slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper, remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the additional regular butter bit by bit, incorporating each piece almost completely before adding the next. Warm the sauce again if necessary, but do not let it boil.
• Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the fish fillets in the oven, return the skillet to the heat, add the chopped pasta and toss with the rest of the sauce until heated through. Spoon the pasta onto the dinner plates and serve with a tossed salad.
