Flounder with briny Mediterranean sauce, cous cous, and asparagus

[Daum]

Last night was the first time I tried cooking up flounder. I looked around a bit and it basically was summed up to be like other white fish, grill it on foil or a small screen, season lightly. We topped with a Mediterraneanish sauce with diced tomatos (though they broke down), capers, garlic, parsley, and scallions. Asparagus seasoned simply with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.

Ready to head to the grill:

Meanwhile the Kate was whipping up the sauce:

Plated:

All in all I thought it was really good. Definitely will be looking into a grilling tray for the fish instead of having to try to poke holes in foil. Also looking forward to the sun staying up longer so I can get some better grilling pics, always dark right now when I start to fire it up.

Until next time,
Daum

Nice job my friend.

I'm no fish griller expert but I have grilled fish directly on the grill and it didn't stick. But then again it was salmon much thicker cut.

Yeah I do salmon directly, but with talipia/white fish I've had problems with it breaking apart when I try to flip it or do anything. Nice looking salmon btw.

I cook talapia on the grill all the time for fish tacos. I can never get it to flip cleanly and it always sticks, but I chop it up in the end anyway, so it's not a bid deal for me.

Its funny the foods that are regional. Like I can hardly ever get tri-tip here, but love it.

Flounder I can catch or buy here 3/4 of the year. It is one of my favorite fishes. Whole stuffed flounder on the grill is great

I have a fish basket thingy I use to do thinner filets. I will try to get a picture up of it. Its pretty handy
