Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the flounder fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge each flounder fillet lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
Add the floured fillets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to a platter; keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden and the almonds are lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, cooking for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Spoon the almond mixture over the cooked flounder fillets.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
