Oil Poached Flounder
- 3 cups olive oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flounder fillets
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, thoroughly dried
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring the olive oil to 300 to 310 degrees F.
- While the oil is heating, season the flounder fillets on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Lay half of the sliced lemons and half of the parsley in the bottom of a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer without overlapping.
- Lay the seasoned fillets on top of the lemons.
- Top with the remaining lemons and parsley.
- Once the oil has reached temperature, gently pour it over the fillets, and place in the oven and poach for 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
