Fried Flounder

I've been experimenting a lot with fish and came upon this pan-fried flounder recipe. Adapted from the food network. It was one of my husband's favorite fish recipes so far. My kids loved it too! Serve over rice, make sure to pour the lemon butter sauce over the rice, too. DIVINE! Serves 4.

Fried Flounder

4 4-oz flounder fillets
salt and pepper, to taste
flour, for dredging fish
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
juice of 1 lemon, or 3 Tbsp
small bottle of capers, optional

1. Wash fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle both sides with flour, or dredge in bowl of flour.
2. Place oil and 1 Tbsp butter in flat, heavy-bottomed skillet and heat on medium-high until butter melts. Place fish in oil-butter mixture and cook fish about 3 minutes each side, or until brown and crispy. Turn fish only once.
3. Remove fish to serving platter; set aside. Turn off burner. Whisk remaining 1 Tbsp butter and lemon juice into hot skillet. Pour in capers if using, liquid and all. Whisk. Pour sauce over fish fillets and rice; serve immediately.
