Parmesan Crusted Flounder With Baked Matchstick Potatoes Recipe
This meal is a sort of a fresh variation on fish and chips. The flavors work together in the same way, but because this is baked instead of fried it creates an opportunity for spices and cheese to become the focal point. The flounder is tender but with a crispy crust, and the potatoes are baked in milk, butter and spices so they have everything that makes mashed potatoes taste great but with a texture more like a baked potato.
Ingredients (per serving):
1-2 medium potatoes
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp milk (use the highest fat available – whole milk or cream is best)
1/8 tsp salt
pinch of pepper
1 flounder fillet (tilapia is also excellent in this recipe)
2-3 tbsp of mayonnaise
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (the dry stuff is best for a nice crunchy coating)
1/4 tsp dried dill
1/8 tsp dried garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Printer friendly US and Metric recipe cards are at the bottom of the post.
Dice the potatoes into matchsticks. Peeling is optional.
Place the potatoes in a ramekin (this is a 10 ounce/300 mL ramekin, about 4.5 inches/12cm in diameter.)
Stir in some salt and pepper.
Add the butter to the top with some more salt and pepper, and pour the milk over it.
Cover in foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes (which will probably be just the right amount of time to bake your fish fillet.)
Bake the fish fillet according to the direction on the package it comes in. Probably 10-15 minutes at about 400°.
Mix the cheese, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. I’m using pink pepper in this picture.
Remove the baked fish from the oven.
Spread with the mayonnaise.
Sprinkle the cheese blend over the fish.
Toast it under the broiler until the cheese is browned. Serve it on top of the potatoes.
