Friday Dinner: Grilled flounder

Last Sunday, I got fresh whole flounder. When you get whole fish, make sure you clean the gut right away, cut it (if you are going to), wash/clean it, AND dry really well with paper towel. After that, you can cook it on the same day, or seal it tightly in a freezer bag and freeze it.



Grilled flounder and vegetables (for 2 people):
Flounder (2 large pieces) - You can use any white fish fillet.
Red onion (1/2)
Potatoes (2 baby ones)
Olive oil (about 1 Tbs)
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven at 380 degrees.
1. Cut potatoes in half and slice the onion (not thinly).
2. Put potatoes and onion on a cookie sheet. Use a Silicone sheet or aluminum foil on the cookie sheet to make cleaning easier.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and put salt and pepper over them as well.
4. Put them in the oven for 10 min.
5. Bring them out and make some room for fish fillet. Place fillet on the same sheet and salt and pepper it.
6. Bake for about 8 min. depending on how thick your fillet is. Check after 5 min. to make sure it doesn't get over cooked.

I also sauteed spinach with olive oil and garlic for the side. I think if you use a good piece of fish, it can turn into a really nice dinner. I had Chardonnay from Monterey called Estancia with the meal, which was cheap but pretty good.
