Don’t confuse potato flakes with instant mashed potatoes. The flakes are coarser in texture, which is necessary to properly coat the fish.

Ingredients

fresh tomato(es)

2 medium, chopped

uncooked red onion(s)

½ small, chopped

cilantro

2 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp, white variety

table salt

¼ tsp

egg(s)

1 large

frozen mashed potatoes

⅔ cup(s), or instant mashed potato flakes

grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp

black pepper

½ tsp, freshly ground

uncooked flounder fillet(s)

1 pound(s), 4 (1⁄4-pound) skinless

olive oil

1 Tbsp

Instructions

To make the salsa, combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, vinegar, and salt in a medium bowl.
Lightly beat the egg in a shallow dish. Place the potato flakes, Parmesan, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Dip each fillet into the egg then into the potato mixture, pressing gently so the flakes adhere.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until browned on the outside and just opaque in the center, 2 – 3 minutes on each side. Serve the fish with the salsa. Yields 1 fish fillet and generous 1⁄4 cup salsa per serving.
