Wrinkles Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 A friend dropped off 3 lbs of fresh caught flounder filets. Bake or fry? I do not have a grill. It has been many many many years since I cooked fish. How do you cook it and what additives/igredients do you add to it? Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 8, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2012 Bake or fry? I do not have a grill. That's kind of your choice, my favorite is fried. I like Zatarains fish fry myself, coat the fish with it and fry, easy enough. If you want to use your own mix which I have done when I didn't want to go to the store and was out of fish fry was just use corn meal, or flour and add spices. I have used granulated or powdered garlic, onion, and your favorite pepper if you like. If you like a little thicker crust dip the filet's in a little milk mixed with couple beaten eggs which gets a little more coating to stick on the fish. You can even add a little seasoning to that mix if you like. Fry until it gets a nice color and crispy which does not take long, put on the side like anything else fried to drain off any oil, at this time you can sprinkle a little salt if you choose and even a little lemon over the top. That should about do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 8, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2012 Got me thinking about food now. [] Something also good, don't know if you have ever tried it is eggplant and/or Merliton. Do both the same way, peel off the skin, cut into thin pieces from the side so you get round pieces no more than 1/4" inch thick, for these you want to dip in the egg and milk mix then fry. They taste great, if you use Japanese eggplant (ichiban) cut longways because there only about 1 1/2'' thick but they taste the same, and much easier to grow.

jhoak Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've used this recipe many many time with both tilapia and flounder and it's always been wonderful. 36 ounces tilapia fillets 1 1/4 cups alfredo sauce (home made or store bought. Extra can be used to mix with pasta if desired) 8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked 1 lemon, sliced into 6 wedges 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, for tilapia crusting mixture 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, for tilapia crusting mixture 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for tilapia crusting mixture 4 cups zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices and halved 4 cups yellow squash, cut into 1/4 inch slices and halved 2 cups red bell peppers, cut into strips 2 cups red onions, cut into strips 1 tablespoon italian seasoning, for vege mixture 1 tablespoon kosher salt, for vege mixture 1 tablespoon chopped garlic, for vege mixture 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, for vege mixture Directions: 1 To make Tilapia Crusting Mixture: 2 Using a spoon, thoroughly mix all ingredients specified for crusting in a large bowl. 3 Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. 4 Italian Vegetables: 5 In a large bowl, combine all vegetables and other ingredients specified for vege mixture and mix thoroughly. 6 Place onto a baking sheet, forming a single layer. Set aside until ready for baking with tilapia. 7 Assembling Parmesan Crusted Tilapia: 8 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 9 Place Tilapia fillets in a non-stick, shallow, baking pan. 10 Pour 3 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce onto each tilapia fillet. Use bottom of spoon to evenly coat top of fish. 11 Sprinkle 1/3 cup of prepared tilapia crusting mixture onto each piece and firmly pat breading evenly over Alfredo sauce. Place pan of tilapia on top rack and at the same time, place baking sheet with vegetables on the center rack, in the oven. After approximately 15 minutes, or when the internal temperature of fish reaches 150 degrees F, remove fish from oven and transfer onto a large platter. 12 The vegetables should bake for an additional five minutes, or until tender, and remove from oven. 13 Toss the vegetables with angel hair pasta (and extra Alfredo sauce if you like)and place around fish. 14 Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately. For "full disclosure" this recipe was stolen by way of the WWW from Olive Garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
