Pan-fried flounder

There is nothing better than cooking fish after it's freshly caught on a fire outside. However, this delicate sweet fish is just as delicious cooked simply at home. If you can’t find flounder, this recipe works just as well with any flat fish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 flounder, gutted and with skin patted dry (400-500g)
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ¼ bunch dill, finely chopped
  • ¼ bunch chives, finely chopped
  • ¼ bunch parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ bunch coriander, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large non-stick or seasoned cast iron pan with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the flounder and place in the pan dark skin side down and fry for about 3 minutes. Turn carefully with a fish slice and cook for another two to three minutes on the other side or until just done. Take the fish out of the pan to rest and set aside.
  3. Add the butter into the same pan. When the butter browns add the lemon juice and all the herbs. Season with a small amount of salt to taste and spoon liberally over the flounder.
