Flounders was out of stock in Jusco so I could not get this dish in time for Friday, but I went straight this morning to get them from Jusco and thank God , they have fresh stock of flounder fillet @32.90 /kg. Bought a fillet piece for RM13 - quite a big piece - fillet of half side of the flounder . It was so fresh that I quickly cook it for our lunch so that I could make it in time for FFWD even though it may be a wee bit late. Better late than never and when I read through the recipe , I knew I would love it. Every bite was nutty crunch and with an after taste of the lemon zest...great lunch for the two of us :) This dish is an inventive crossbreeding of two classic dishes, sole amandine whereby the fish is finished with sauteed almond slices and sole meunière , in which the fish is sauteed in browned butter. And Dorie's version is using baby flounder, lightly coat the fillets with ground almonds and sauteed them in browned butter and served them with toasted almond slices and a sprinkling of parsley. I love this style of cooking the flounder...the ground almond coating which has lemon rinds in it gave the fish the nutty crunch . I served it with radish salad and some Korean strawberries......Yummy ...a good lunch for a sunny day!
