Ingredients

• 4 pieces flounder fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the flounder fillets lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the flounder fillets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets and set aside on a warm plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 8

Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Add the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the flounder fillets to the skillet, spooning the mushroom and wine sauce over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just to warm the fish through.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving and plate immediately.
