Flounder Reimagined: A Unique Recipe​

When you think of flounder, you might picture a mild, delicate fish that often needs a little something extra to make it memorable. Our recipe takes the classic approach of adding breadcrumbs and flour to give your flounder that crispy texture, but we add a unique twist to make it a dish that captures the spirit of New York.

Step-by-Step: Your Flounder Journey​

Prepare the Coating:
  1. Mix breadcrumbs, flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
  2. Feel free to add oregano or other spices if you want to elevate the flavor.
Coat the Fish:
  1. Dip each flounder fillet into the coating mixture, ensuring it's fully covered.
  2. If you want a thicker coating, dip it in egg white and coat it with the mixture again.
Get Sizzling:
  1. Heat a pan until it's hot; a crucial step for that satisfyingly crispy exterior.
Crispy Perfection:
  1. Add a small amount of butter to the hot pan, but remember, we're keeping it light on calories.
