Best Cornmeal Crusted Flounder With Tartar Sauce Recipes

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, thyme, and salt and pepper. Spread the yogurt mixture on both sides of the flounder fillets. Season the cornmeal with creole spice. Dredge the flounder in the cornmeal. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a skillet. Place the crusted flounder into the hot oil. Cook for 3 minutes on each side Drain the fish on a paper towel. Serve the flounder on a plate, topped with the oyster relish. Garnish with parsley.
- Combine, season, and set aside.
CRISPY DEEP-FRIED FLOUNDER
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 200 F, to keep fried fish warm while frying subsequent batches.
- Place the flounder fillets in a shallow baking dish; pour in enough milk or buttermilk to cover the fillets. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix or baking mix and cornmeal; stir to blend.
- In a deep heavy skillet or sauté pan, heat about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil to 365 F (185 C). If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, toss a 1-inch cube of bread into the hot oil. It should turn golden brown in 1 minute.
- Drain the fish using a colander.
- Dredge each piece in the baking mix and cornmeal mixture, coating the fillets thoroughly on both sides. Shake off any excess.
- Add the fish fillets to hot oil and fry.
- Turn once after about 2 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on both sides (about 4 minutes total). Fry a few at a time to keep the oil temperature from dropping. If the temperature drops significantly and does not recover quickly, the coating will absorb more oil.
- Drain the flounder fillets on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt, to taste.
- Transfer the fried fish to a rack in a baking pan and keep warm in the preheated oven for up to 20 minutes, if desired.
- Serve fried flounder hot, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs, if desired.

CAJUN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH DIJON TARTAR SAUCE
Fridays were "fry-days" growing up-we'd always have a fish fry or some sort of seafood. Flounder is a great fish to fry; it's flaky, yet meaty, and the Cajun seasoning and crunch of cornmeal make it super delicious.

Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Make the tartar sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, dill, vinegar, sugar and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make the flounder: Soak the fish in the buttermilk in a bowl for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour enough oil to go 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a large, deep cast-iron skillet. Heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the fish lightly with salt and pepper. Place the cornmeal and flour in a shallow dish or paper bag. Sprinkle the fish with the Cajun seasoning. Add the fish to the flour mixture and coat each piece evenly. Transfer the breaded fish to a plate or cutting board.
- Add the fish to the oil in batches and fry until the pieces start to float to the top and are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a wire rack after cooking to let the extra oil run off. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on top of each fillet before serving. Serve with the tartar sauce.
