Ingredients

  • 1 pound(s) flounder fillet(s)
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg white(s), whipped until stiff
  • 1/4 cup(s) yellow cornmeal
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp thyme, fresh, finely minced (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
  • 2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium lemon(s), cut into 4 wedges

Preparation

Step 1

* Rinse fish; pat dry. Place fish on a plate and spread both sides of fish with mustard; dip into egg white and set aside.

* In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt and pepper; dust fish with cornmeal-mixture, making sure to cover both sides.

* Coat a large oven-proof skillet with cooking spray and set over medium to medium-high heat; heat oil until shimmering. Add fish to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side; flip fish and cook until done on other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more.*

* Serve fish with lemon wedges. Yields about 3 ounces of fish per serving.

*Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your fillets. Small fillets will cook in about 4 minutes total, flipped once, when cooked on the stove. But if you use 1 large fillet, we recommend that you cook it for 3 minutes on the stove and then place it under the broiler for 3 minutes. This will cook the top side since the fish will be too difficult to flip.
