Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 flounder, gutted and with skin patted dry (400-500g)
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¼ bunch dill, finely chopped
- ¼ bunch chives, finely chopped
- ¼ bunch parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ bunch coriander, finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick or seasoned cast iron pan with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the flounder and place in the pan dark skin side down and fry for about 3 minutes. Turn carefully with a fish slice and cook for another two to three minutes on the other side or until just done. Take the fish out of the pan to rest and set aside.
