Egg salad is a staple of southern sandwiches. Serve using your preferred fresh bread. With whole wheat bread as the center slice, my wife enjoys making double-decker sandwiches with pimento cheese on the other half. In two or three pieces, trim the edges. amazing for tailgating.

I had never made flounder, and really not a fish lover, BUT, this was amazing, so flavorful! I did add some grated fresh garlic, We will be having this often!!
This is a very quick, way to cook mild flavored fish without overwhelming the taste. Be very careful with the cooking time! Thin fillets require far less than 30 minutes in the oven.
A couple adjustments made to the original: added panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and only baked for 20 mins. I think next time I’ll use a higher temperature or just broil it because there’s the slightest bit of mushiness to it as is.
Very quick, easy and nice presentation. Will make again.
I felt the recipe was very bland. I only cooked the fish for 15 minutes and I’m glad because it was cooked perfectly. I might try my own version of this recipe by adding more spices
I will be making it again.I did add fresh cut asparagus from my garden,and some grated coblyjack chess because me husband doesn’t like parmesan. It was wonderful. I can’t have gluten it seems so I didn’t add any bread crumbs as I see others have done.But it was very good.Trying to eat healthy is hard, recipes like this make is so much easier.Thank you for this. We will be having this with little variations as different veggies become ready to eat fresh from the garden.Even the picky kid in the house likes it.
We tried this recipe to use up some Pollack from our freezer. I had most of the ingredients but the tomatoes,so I substituted frozen mushrooms and red,yellow and green peppers. The fish turned out great and the next time I make it,I’ll use fresh tomatoes and the peppers.
The meal turned out great! We’re doing a special diet and this fit in perfectly!
Delicious
This has become my go to fish recipe. It’s super easy to do. I use any white fish, really, but usually flounder. I add some fresh basil to the tomato/onion/garlic mix, and a bread crumb and herb mix to the top. The one thing you have to watch out for is all the extra liquid. So be sure that your fish (if frozen like mine) are drained well. Make sure the tomatoes are drained well if you use canned. (I prefer fresh, but canned works in a pinch.) Also, a quick splash of lemon initially, before dressing with tomatoes and bread crumbs never hurts and adds a little something. All in all, I love this one and it is both husband and kid approved. 🙂
Delicious
TASTY & SIMPLE! This was so easy to make with ingredients I had on hand. My only changes were to use fresh basil from the garden and bake only 10 minutes. I deducted a star because I feel 30 minutes would have over cooked the flounder. Flounder isn’t a very thick fish and doesn’t need a long time to bake. Thank you SUE416 for sharing your recipe!
This recipe was excellent as is except next time I make this I will not use frozen flounder from a package, get your fish from a fish market.
Super easy and good!
Just made this and it was quite possibly the best tilapia we have eaten. This will most certainly find itself in our dinner rotation!!!
This flounder recipe was another to-die for one. I didn’t have any tomatoes or basil, but I took another reviewer’s suggestion and mixed Italian Style breadcrumb mix with Smart Balance butter, and fresh minced garlic. I had seasoned the fillets with salt and pepper and grated fresh ginger for a little kick to it, then spread the breadcrumb mixture on top of the fillets, and added dried parsley and thyme. I baked it at 350 for 25 minutes, then broiled it for 5 minutes for a crispier topping (I stood there to watch it because I never leave the broiler unattended). When I took the fish out, I had seasoned it with lemon juice, fresh cilantro, had served with salad, garlic/lemon juice-sauteed steamed asparagus (another delicious recipe that was posted on this site) and with my husband’s homemade garlic bread. It was delicious. Thank you for posting and for the recommendations! 🙂
My family raved over this recipe. I used two thin pats of butter on each filet. I added the Fire Roasted w/Garlic diced tomatoes, first I drained the can then spooned then on the founder. I added Mrs. Dash’s Basil and Garlic spice generously and then added some more garlic powder. I then sprinkled on seasoned Panko bread crumbs and baked for 15 min. Finished by putting some mozzarella and American cheese on for the last 5 min. I served it with Spanish rice, broccoli and a salad. Amazing!!! My husband was blown away!!
I did not care for this recipe. My 1/2 inch thick Flounder filet ended up as a mush. 30 minutes in the oven most likely should be 10 minutes. I did add some slices of American cheese but I don’t see how that could have caused the fish to be so over cooked.
Simple, healthy, and delicious. I added a dash of white wine and capers to mine, and I cooked it uncovered for 15 minutes. Also traded out the butter for a spritz of olive oil from my Misto.
This was a very tasty recipe. My only tweak was adding some Parmesan cheese.
a little light on flavor, but pretty good for such a fresh and healthy dinner. will make again and probably top with some fresh basil after cooking for additional flavor, and maybe use a fresh lemon. the flounder fillets i used were on the thin side, so it only needed to bake for 15 mins
