Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flounder filets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 4 pieces Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Pat the flounder filets dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper together.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

Dredge each flounder filet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add 2 flounder filets to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the filets and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil, and filets.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes, then return the cooked flounder filets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, and serve immediately.
