Lemon, anchovy, and garlic flavor a delicate mayo-based glaze in this easy flounder recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tbsp. light mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. water
- 1/2 tsp. anchovy paste
- 1 small garlic clove
- 4 skinless flounder fillets
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 lb. dried thin linguine
- 1 pt. mixed cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 c. prepared pesto sauce
- 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, water, anchovy paste, and garlic until blended. Set aside.
- Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat to high. Spray a broiler-pan rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season both sides of flounder with salt and pepper. Place fillet halves skinned side up on a work surface. Starting at the narrow end, roll up a fillet; transfer it to prepared broiler pan, seam side down. Roll up remaining fillet halves and arrange on broiler pan.
- Add linguine to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 7 minutes. While pasta is cooking, broil flounder 6 minutes or until tops are lightly browned; remove from broiler. Spread tops of flounder rolls with mayonnaise mixture; broil until topping is golden brown and bubbling, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer.
- Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return pasta to pot; stir in tomatoes and pesto sauce until evenly coated, adding some of the cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each with 2 flounder rolls. Sprinkle with parsley.
