The tastiest and moderately light dinner for the whole family! Flounder fried in a pan turns out to be incredibly juicy and appetizing! Due to the fact that there are no bones in this fish, it can be safely served to a child. It requires a minimum of ingredients for preparation, suitable for a fasting table.

Ingredients:

• Flounder – 700 grams
• Lemons – 1 pc.
• Salt to taste
• Red pepper ground to taste
• Black pepper ground to taste
• Dry spices to taste
• Vegetable oil 100 grams

Preparation:

If you have frozen fish, take it out of the freezer and leave it until completely thawed at room temperature. Grind the flounder and remove the gills. If desired, the head and fins can be cut off, you can fry the fish as it is. Wash the flounder under cold running water and dry thoroughly with paper towels. We will marinate the fish, so excess moisture should be removed.

Make shallow cuts on both sides of the fish. Rub the flounder with a little salt, sprinkle with a mixture of ground peppers, as well as any of your favorite seasonings. Sprinkle lemon juice on top.

Turn the carcass over to the other side and do the same. Leave the fish like this for 15-20 minutes, this will be quite enough for the meat to be marinated to the desired degree.

In a pan with a thick bottom, pour oil (you can use less than indicated in the recipe) . Heat it up and send the flounder to fry. Fry the dark side first. Set the fire on the stove to medium level, leave the fish for 10-12 minutes. But make sure nothing burns.

Next, using a spatula, turn the flounder over to the other side and cook for the same amount of time (about 10 minutes). Please note that the frying time depends on the power and type of stove, on the quality and thickness of the pan.

Sprinkle the finished fish again with lemon juice and pepper if desired. You can serve flounder whole with fresh vegetables or salad leaves.

For convenience, divide the finished fish into portions and serve until it cools!
