Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flounder fillets (1 1/2 to 2 lbs)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup wine
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon parsley
• lemon slices and parsley (to garnish) (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
• 2 place the flour and all the seasonings in a plastic bag and shake to blend.
• 3 place the beaten eggs in a shallow dish.
• 4 when the skillet is good and hot, put the flounder fillets in the bag one at a time and then dip in the egg. coat them completely with the egg and place in skillet. the egg should sizzle immediately. if it doesn't, the oil isn't hot enough.
• 5 save 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for the sauce.
• 6 fry over medium heat until brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. add extra butter if you need to.
• 7 remove from skillet, keep warm.
• 8 discard any oil left in skillet and add the butter and the 1 tbsp of seasoned flour reserved from the flounder. whisk until smooth. add the rest of the sauce ingredients, stirring constantly until well blended. bring to boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. if the sauce thickens too much, add more water- just 1 tsp at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
• 9 to serve place flounder over a bed of buttered rice (or whatever you're using) and pour a little sauce over each fillet. garnish with lemon slices and parsley.
