Peanut Fried Flounder

Although we adore salmon, in many guises, we do not like other fish, except when it is fried.  I know, this is not the healthiest way to make fish but, I cut down the fat, in most recipes, to improve the quality a little.  Here is an example of what turned out to be a quite delicious flounder dish.


Peanut Fried Flounder  serves 4 - adapted from Epicurious

Ingredients:

4 pieces flounder



Marinade:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons. sherry
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup flax seed flour
1 cup finely ground unsalted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons Canola oil
2 teaspoons. Sirachah

In 3 shallow dishes or pie pans-put soy flour in one, beaten egg with 1/4 teaspoon salt and water in another, flax seed meal, ground peanuts, in the third.

Dip each piece of fish, coating both sides, first in flour, next in eggs, then crumb/nut mixture. Shake off excess after each step.
