Tip: you an use any type of fish for this recipe. Works best with whole fish but fillets and cutlets go ok



2 whole flounder (about 400g-500g each)

1 tbsp olive oil

Flour for dusting

Salt

50g butter

3 tbsp almond flakes

1 tbsp parsley, chopped

Juice of half a lemon
¼ cup white wine

To skin flounder Make an incision through to the flesh close to the tail on the top, darker side of the fish. Peel some of the skin away from the flesh and, when you have sufficient to grip, place one hand firmly on the fish and, with the other hand, pull towards the head. The skin should come away quite easily in one large piece (especially if very fresh). Cut the skin where the body joins the head and discard.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Lightly dust the first flounder in flour on both sides and shake off any excess. Cook the fish for about five minutes on both sides, seasoning with salt. Remove to a dish, cover with foil and keep warm while you cook the other fish.

Add the butter and almonds to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the almonds turn golden and the butter turns brown. Add the wine and the chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Allow to reduce slightly and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

sounds gooooood.

do you have to use almonds or can you use something else?

you can omit the almonds. Try frying up some bacon, mushrooms and onions with the butter instead.

Green prawns and garlic would also work.

Loved the recipe Golly!
Couple things I added were medium chillie & a side of green beans & sliced potato drizzled with balsam vinegar. Also had a flathead tail with it.
