Servings
4
Ingredients
  • 2 cup fresh tomatoes, preferably campari, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mint, chiffonade
  • 1/4 cup basil, chiffonade
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound flounder fillets
  • cooking spray
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tomatoes, mint, basil, ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper and set aside. Place the fish on a plate and rub all over with the remaining salt and pepper.
  2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, add the oil, and set over medium-high heat. When the oil just begins to shimmer, add the fish. Cook until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes. Shake the pan and using a spatula, carefully loosen the fish from the bottom of the pan and remove to a serving plate.*
  3. Add the tomato mixture to the same skillet and cook until the tomatoes just start to release moisture, scraping the bottom of pan to loosen drippings, about 1-2 minutes. Spoon the tomatoes over the fish and serve.
