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.

PARMESAN BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Place fillets in a single layer on a lightly greased or pan sprayed, shallow oven-to-table type broiler pan. Brush with lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients to make the cheese topping mixture. Set aside.
• Broil fillets 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and temperature of your oven/broiler.).
• Remove fillets from oven. Spread with Parmesan topping.
• Broil an additional 30 seconds or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly (be careful to watch it, or it can burn).
• Garnish with lemon twists and parsley, if desired.
• Note: Mushy cooked fish is a result of either 1) overcooking/overheating, or 2) over-marinating (which, science-wise, is another method of partial cooking, depending on the marinade). Since the flounder in the recipe is not marinated, if the fish comes out mushy I suspect the results are the from overcooking. Either the fish was left under the broiler for too long, the temperature of the broiler is too high, or the rack on which the the pan placed under the broiler is too close to the heat.

FILLETS OF FLOUNDER WITH PARSLEY AND MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Select a rimmed pan or skillet large enough to hold fillets in one layer. Generously butter bottom and sides of pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with salt and pepper.
• Arrange fillets close together over the pan bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush tops of fillets with 1 tablespoon of wine.
• Bring enough water to the boil in a saucepan to cover the parsley leaves when added. Add parsley leaves and let cook about 1 minute, no longer. Drain thoroughly and run under cold water. Drain. Put parsley in a clean square of cheesecloth and squeeze to extract excess liquid. Put parsley on flat surface and chop fine. There should be about Y cup.
• Place fish in oven and bake 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour remaining wine in a saucepan and add shallots. Cook until wine is almost evaporated. Add parsley, cream and mustard. Stir and bring to the boil. Add to the sauce any liquid that accumulates around the fish. Add salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over fish and serve.
