ingredients
- 4 (5 -6 ounce) flounder fillets
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄3 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
- vegetable oil, for frying
directions
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the mustard in a shallow dish.
- Mix the flour and cornmeal in another shallow dish.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Drag each fillet in the mustard to coat it thinly on both sides and then dip into the flour mixture, turning to coat. Place on the waxed paper and let stand a few minutes to set the coating.
- Pour enough oil into a large skillet to come 1/8 inch up the sides of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking.
- Add the fish fillets and cook until the undersides are crisp and golden brown, abouit 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the other sides are crisp, about 2 more minutes.
- Transfer to paper towels and drain very briefly (if allowed to stand too long, steam will collect and soften the crust).
- Serve immediately.

I hate giving bad reviews but I just did not enjoy this. The cornmeal gave it a grainy feel and the dijon mustard was too intense for such a mild fish.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
