INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Flounder Fillet
200 grams Asparagus
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, add minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, pat the flounder fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the flounder fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is golden and crispy on the edges.
Finish by drizzling 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter over the cooked flounder to add a subtle richness and a hint of lemon-garlic flavor from the pan.
Plate the flounder alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
