Flounder makes for the perfect choice when you're after a fish dinner that comes together in minutes. Because it's typically sold in thin, mild filets, flounder cooks quickly. In fact, you have to be careful not to overcook flounder, or you'll loose its fork tender, mild flavor. In this recipe, flounder hits the skillet for a quick sauté. Watch the fish closely, and remove it from the pan just as soon as it turns opaque in the thickest part of the filet, usually the center. Tomato, mint and basil brighten the light fish as a just-warmed topping to which you could add a squeeze of lemon or teaspoon of capers for an extra kick of tartness. Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables such as broccoli, haricots verts, or asparagus.
