New Orleans / Hatian Flounder

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
1 tablespoons Louisiana Hot Sauce

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, hot sauce, 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.
