FLOUNDER WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON AND TARRAGON



Flounder With Brown Butter, Lemon and Tarragon image

The flatfish family is comprised of numerous popular fish, including sole, halibut and flounder. But all the various boneless fillets are relatively interchangeable and can be prepared in more or less the same way, adjusting cooking time according to size. These pan-cooked fillets are quick, simple and elegant.
