BIG EASY WHOLE FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Arrange the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to high broil. Cover the bottom of a large metal baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Season the fish inside and out with Cajun seasoning. Set it in the prepared baking pan. Around the sides of the fish, pour the wine and lemon juice and scatter the cherry tomatoes and capers. Arrange the pats of butter in a line on top of the fish. Broil until the flesh of the fish is opaque throughout, about 20 minutes (cut a little slit in the thickest part of the fish to check).
• For a dramatic presentation, take the whole fish to the table on a platter. Then whisk it back to the kitchen to deb one for serving. Arrange equal portions of fish on individual plates along with a generous helping of tomatoes. Pour a bit of pan juice over each piece of fish.
• Aside from flounder, any mild white whole fish will do for this recipe, such as trout, snapper, bass, or grouper. If you can't find a big enough fish to feed everyone, buy two and broil them in the same pan.

WHOLE ROASTED BABY FLOUNDER WITH SWEET ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• To prepare the marmalade, bring the onions and stock to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let gently simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, put the cream in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the cream reduces by half.
• Uncover the onions, add the salt and pepper, and increase the heat to medium. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the liquid begins to get syrupy. The onions should be very slightly browned. Stir in the reduced cream and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is a little thicker than heavy cream.
• Add the vinegar, stir to combine well, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Keep warm while cooking the fish. (Cooled and then tightly covered, the marmalade will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the flounder and pat dry. In a shallow plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge both sides of the flounder in the seasoned flour, shaking to remove the excess.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter begins to sizzle. One at a time, carefully lay the flounder in the skillet, white-skin side down. After 2 minutes, sneak a peak at the bottom side to make sure it is browning without burning, but don't be timid--a nice nutty brown is good. Carefully turn the flounder with a spatula and cook about 2 minutes or until browned. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet large enough to hold them all in a single layer.
• Roast the flounder in the top third of the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on their size. Look closely: the inside of the fish should be just flaky and opaque. It is important not to overcook them. While the fish are roasting, warm the marmalade to a simmer. Place the fish on warm serving plates, top with the warm sauce, and serve immediately.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon tarragon, sugar, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange tomatoes cut side up. Roast on lower rack until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Keep oven on for fish.)
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon tarragon, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with oil. In a food processor, place bread, a pinch each salt and pepper, and remaining tablespoon oil; pulse until fine crumbs form.
• Lay fillets flat on prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Spread top sides with mustard; sprinkle with bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Bake on upper rack until fish is cooked through and crumbs are browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with tomatoes and sauce.
