Flounder is a lean, thin fish that cooks very quickly. So be sure to cook it 4 to 5 inches from the heat source and watch it carefully! Clover sprouts are available in the produce department of better supermarkets. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature |
4 teaspoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest |
vegetable oil |
8 flounder fillets (4 ounces each) |
clover sprouts, for garnish |
2 lemons, quartered, for serving |
Directions:
1. 1. Place the butter in a small bowl and combine with the mustard, parsley, and lemon zest. Set aside.
2. 2. Arrange the oven or broiler rack 4 inches from the heat. Preheat the broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Oil the foil lightly. Evenly space 4 flounder fillets on each of the baking sheets.
3. 3. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butter mixture atop each fish fillet. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is lightly browned on top and just cooked through. Do not overcook.
4. 4. Serve immediately, garnished with a flourish of clover sprouts and a lemon quarter.
