My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Baked Flounder Fillets
About a week ago, my husband and I went to the Mohegan Sun Casino for a few hours. We walked around and ended up having dinner at one of the many restaurants. For the life of me, I can't seem to remember the name of the place, What I do remember is that the meal I had was so good. Therefore, I made it my mission to try to replicate it at home.
The other day, I went to the fish market and they had beautiful flounder fillets, so I thought they would be perfect for this dish. Now that I think about it, this recipe would have been so much better if the fillets were thicker. Next time I make this recipe, I will surely buy thicker fillets. Aside from the fish being thin... I think that the end product was wonderful.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1-1.5 of thick flounder or scrod fillets (or any white fish will work well)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
about 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (drained of fluids)
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
Preheat your oven to 375
Rinse fillets and pat dry.
Place one fillet in a mini casserole dish and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice let sit for 10-15 minutes. (Repeat this step with the second fillet.)
Top fillets with a thin layer of diced tomatoes, and then top with Breadcrumbs.
Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets.)
Serve with a side of risotto, and your favorite green veggie.
