Flounder Mediterranean
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Place the flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour the sauce over the fillets and sprinkle with the remaining basil leaves on top.

  5. 5

    Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
