Ingredients
  

  • 6 small flounder fillets
  • 10 Ritz crackers crushed
  • 1 t. dried basil
  • 1 t. dried oregano
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • juice of 1 lemon (about 3 T)
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 T. butter

Instructions
 

  • Combine crackers, parmesan, and spices in shallow bowl or on a small plate that will allow you to dip the flounder fillets easily.
  • In another shallow bowl or small plate squeeze the lemon juice.
  • Sprinkle flounder with salt and pepper. Dip both sides in lemon juice and then in the cracker mixture.
  • Melt butter and heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish in butter and oil mixture for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and fish flakes easily with a fork. (My flounder fillets tend to be very small and thin so they cook quickly. If you are working with larger/thicker fillets or a different kind of white fish this will take longer).
  • If cooking the fish in multiple batches based on the size of your skillet, when they are finished place them on a plate and cover them with foil while you finish cooking the rest.
  • Serve immediately.
