Haitian flounder
Hello and welcome to Kernal's Kitchen, here is a recipe I enjoy any time of the year. Haitian flounder with a New Orleans twist.
Ingredients:
1 cup Jasmine Rice
2 tablespoons Olive oil to sauté' veggies
2 diced tomatos
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 Yellow pepper chopped
1 Orange pepper chopped
1 cup Orange juice
3 teaspoons cajun seasoning
3 tablespoons Fresh chopped cilantro
1 lime, cut and juiced
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoons pepper
Spice flounder fillets in a dish. Sprinkle evenly with lime juice, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
over medium-high heat olive oil in a skillet large enough to hold all fillets. Add garlic Sauté 3 minutes or until soft. Add peppers cooking 3 - 5 minutes or until soft adding a bit of dark brown on the edges. Next Add tomato, orange juice, lime and lemon, bring to a boil.
Add fish fillets; reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. I tend to add more cajun spice to mix, add if necessary to your taste.
Place fish on serving plates; spoon sauce evenly over fillets. Garnish, if desired. Serve with jasmine rice and lime wedges. I like to add butter and salt to my rice as it cooks, low simmer for 30 minutes.
Bon appétit
