Sauteed Flounder With Green Beans and Potatoes
- 4 flounder fillets, approximately 1 1/2 pounds
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups fingerling potatoes, boiled until just tender, approximately 15 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise
- 3 cups green beans or a mixture of Romano beans and green beans, trimmed and blanched until just crisp in salted water, approximately 3 minutes, then shocked in ice water and patted dry
- 2 shallots, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 4 cornichons, finely chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Using paper towels, pat the fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a pan large enough to hold all 4 fillets, or in two pans if not, heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is almost smoking, then add the fish, skin side up.
- Adjust heat to moderate, and cook until golden and crusted, approximately 4 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until the fish is almost done, approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove fish, and place on rack to keep warm.
- In another large pan, warm the butter over medium-high heat.
- When it is foaming, add potatoes, beans and shallots.
- Turn the heat to medium, and cook, tossing often, until the vegetables are slightly crispy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with the flounder and sauce gribiche.
