How to Make Creole Flounder

  1. Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the flounder fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the flounder from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  7. Add the Creole seasoning, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  8. Pour in the fish stock and bring to a simmer.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  10. Return the flounder fillets to the skillet and coat them with the Creole sauce.
  11. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the flounder is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  12. Serve immediately over rice or with your favorite side dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
