Fabulous Flounder Cooked In Foil Recipe - Cooking Index
To make the foil packets airtight, read the recipe directions carefully. Serve a hot pocket on each dinner plate and let each guest open his or her own. The aroma is lovely!
Type: Fish| 1/2 lb | 227g / 8oz | Medium-sized asparagus - tips only |
| 1 cup | 160g / 5.6oz | Green beans - cut 1" lengths |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Fresh green peas |
| 1 | Hothouse cucumber - peeled | |
| 4 | Flounder fillets - (abt 6 oz ea) | |
| 4 tablespoons | 60ml | Unsalted butter |
| 4 teaspoons | 20ml | Chopped fresh dill |
| Salt - to taste | ||
| Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
| 2 | Lemons - halved |
In boiling water, blanch the asparagus for 1 minute and the green beans and peas for 2 minutes. Run under cold water and drain well.
With the small side of a melon baller, cut enough balls from the cucumber to measure 1 cup.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Have 4 sheets of foil ready, each 22 by 12 inches. Lay 1 sheet in front of you lengthwise, on a flat work surface. Center a flounder fillet on the bottom half of the foil (turning up the edges slightly so the vegetables won't roll off). Arrange 1/4 of the asparagus, green beans, peas and cucumber balls around the fish. Dot the fish and vegetables with 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dill. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the top half of the foil over the fish and vegetables; crimp the edges together carefully to create a packet. Repeat with the other 3 fillets.
Transfer packets to a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
Transfer packets to dinner plates and allow the guests to open them at the table. Serve each with a lemon half.
