Ingredients

Flounder:
2
Flounder fillets
2
Eggs
1/4
cup Flour
1/4
cup Pecans, chopped very fine
1/2
cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1
Tbsp. Chives, chopped
1
Tbsp. Parsley, chopped
Chili Sauce:
1/2
c mayonnaise
1
T plus 1 teaspoon Asian Chili sauce such as Sriracha
1/4

Directions

Flounder:

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl; beat until smooth. Combine the flour and pecans on a medium plate. Combine the Panko, chives and parsley on another plate. Season all plates with salt and pepper.

Pat the flounder dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Working with one piece, thoroughly coat season fillets in the flour/pecan mixture (pressing to adhere), then in the egg (letting any excess drip off), then in the herb/breadcrumbs (pressing to adhere). Transfer to a plate.

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high until hot. Once the oil is hot enough that a few breadcrumbs sizzle immediately when add to the pan, add the breaded flounder fillets and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate; and serve with the Chili Sauce.

 

Chili Sauce:

Combine all ingredients and serve with the flounder.
