Flounder Mediterranean
Flounder Mediterranean pairs tender, flaky fish with a bright, salty tomato sauce enriched by olives, capers, white wine, and fresh basil. Parmesan melts into the pan sauce for a savory finish that balances acidity and brininess. Serve this vibrant, oven-baked dish for a weeknight dinner or a light, elegant meal with crusty bread or a simple salad.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Dip the tomatoes into the boiling water, then immediately transfer them to a medium bowl of ice water; drain. Peel off and discard the tomato skins. Chop the tomatoes and set them aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; sauté the onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning; cook until the tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the olives, wine, capers, lemon juice, and 1/2 the basil. Reduce the heat, mix in the Parmesan cheese, and cook until the mixture reduces to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
