Best Flounder Saute With Asparagus And Crab Vinaigrette Recipes

CRABMEAT-STUFFED WHOLE BAY FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and grease the paper with butter. Rinse the flounder; pat dry with paper towels. Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet with head-side up.
• Starting on one side of the fish, insert a knife horizontally into the slit. Begin cutting, about 1 inch from the head, between the flesh and bone, stopping just before the tail to form a pocket. Cut another pocket on the opposite side of the fish.
• Combine the crabmeat, saltines, mayonnaise, parsley, egg, green onion and Old Bay Seasoning in a medium bowl and fold together. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared fish pockets.
• Sprinkle the fish with the bread crumbs and drizzle with the melted butter. Bake until the fish flakes easily when tested with fork, about 25 minutes.

EASY FLOUNDER & ASPARAGUS PACKETS

Steps:

• Thaw the flounder, if using frozen, and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the melted butter, juice from half of the lemon, minced garlic, pepper, parsley, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
• Cut one large piece of foil for each fillet, leaving enough room to fold over both fish and asparagus. Divide asparagus and fish fillets evenly, then place one fillet and a few spears of asparagus side-by-side in the center of each piece of foil.
• Spoon the seasoned garlic butter mixture evenly over the flounder & asparagus.
• Fold the foil over each packet and seal it tightly across the top, so that none of the butter leaks out.
• Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes evenly with a fork, then open foil and sprinkle Parmesan evenly across the fish and asparagus.
• Return to oven and broil on high with the foil open for 2 minutes to melt the cheese on nicely, then squeeze on additional lemon juice to taste (it really brightens up the flavor!).
• Serve the fish and asparagus with its own sauce over either rice, or riced cauliflower.

FLOUNDER MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
