Baked Lemon Pepper Flounder Recipes

BAKED FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH LEMON-PEPPER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the wine, the lemon juice, the parsley, the oil, the pepper, and salt to taste and add the onion. In another bowl toss together the carrots, the squash, and the zucchini, add about 1/4 cup of the liquid from the onion mixture, and toss the mixture well. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of a greased glass baking dish, 15 by 10 by 2 inches. 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. Arrange the fish rolls, seam sides down and not touching each other, on the onion mixture, put an oiled sheet of parchment or wax paper directly on them, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 8 minutes. Spread the vegetable mixture around the rolls and bake the mixture, the fish covered directly with the parchment, for 7 to 12 minutes more, or until the fish just flakes. Transfer the vegetables to a heated platter, arrange the fish rolls on top of them, and spoon the juices over the top.

LEMON-PEPPER FRESH FLOUNDER FILLETS

Steps:

• Place bran cereal in a blender; blend until pulverized. Transfer to a shallow bowl and mix in lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk egg and milk together in another medium bowl. Dredge a flounder fillet in flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into crushed bran to coat both sides. Place the breaded flounder, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Add fillets to the hot oil and deep fry for 3 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
