crispy roasted flounder and tomatoes
Looking for an easy, delicious, and one pan fish recipe ? This recipe based on FreshDirect’s version will fit the bill. It’s roasted. So I’m all in, as I have sworn off pan frying and the inevitable odor. I used some beautiful ripened heirloom red and yellow tomatoes that I had on hand . They were magical roasted alongside of the flounder.
‘This looks like it’s from a restaurant!’ My daughter approved.
Try this and let the praise roll in!
