Title: Thai Style Poached Flounder
Post by: TedSki on September 13, 2007, 08:19:07 AM
I came up with this recipe the other evening when I brought home the last fluke of the season, but my fiancée wanted to have Thai.  The lemongrass and lime really compliment the fluke's light flavor, and the ginger gives it a slight kick.

1 lime, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 inch finger of ginger, peeled, very thinly sliced
1 lemongrass stalk, trimmed and thinly sliced, on the bias
1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 6 oz flounder/fluke filets

Bring 4 cups of water to boil.  Add lime, ginger, and lemongrass, boil for 5 minutes.  Place flounder filets in a heavy bottomed sauté pan or skillet.  Pour poaching liquid over the filets and place over medium heat.  Bring to a simmer and simmer about 7-10 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily.  Serve garnished with cilantro and tomato.
