Flounder with Orange Glaze
Original Recipe
1 lb flounder fillets
flour, for dredging
salt and pepper, as desired
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup orange juice
2 tsp ginger*
1 Tbsp flour
Combine dredging flour (a cup or so, as needed) with salt and pepper in shallow dish. Dip the fillets into flour and coat well. Heat olive oil in a skillet until shimmering. Carefully place fillets into skillet and allow to brown (4-5 minutes). Flip and allow to brown again, until fully cooked through. Remove fillets from skillet and set aside.
Pour orange juice into skillet. Add ginger and flour, whisk to combine. Allow sauce to thicken, then pour over flounder fillets. Serve with rolls or rice.
My Notes:
So, I had bought a small thing of orange juice a while ago intending on making something with fish. Problem was, I couldn't find the recipe when I went back and looked. I knew I needed fish (I usually use tilapia, but they were out when I went shopping for it, so I got flounder instead), and orange juice. Possibly even dijon mustard, since I found a recipe also calling for mustard and we have an unopened bottle in the fridge. Can't remember if I bought it or not.
I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this, but it turned out pretty well. My fillets were falling apart by the time I sat down to eat, but it tasted really good. I ate it with dinner rolls, but it would be just as good over rice, especially to soak up all the yummy goodness.
Definitely a keeper. Though I might try to get a little fancier with it next time :)
