Mild-mannered seafood is a delicious canvas for briny capers and a citrus-butter sauce. Serve with rice or roasted potatoes to soak up the sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 (3 oz each) flounder fillets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp butter, divided
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
Steps
- Pat the flounder dry with a paper towel. Season fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour until lightly coated on all sides, shaking off any excess.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter on medium-high. Add 2 fillets in a single layer and cook 2–3 min. per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a serving platter and loosely cover with foil. Melt another 1 tbsp butter in skillet and cook remaining 2 fillets. Transfer to platter with other fish.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and stir until melted. To skillet, add the lemon juice, 2 tbsp water, and the capers, scraping up any browned bits. Cook 1 min., stirring constantly. Pour lemon-butter sauce over fish and serve immediately.
