Baked Flounder with Dill and Caper Cream
Fresh dill contributes sharp flavor and feathery elegance to this simple flounder recipe. Since heat diminishes the potency of fresh dill, it's best to add it to the dish near the end of the suggested cooking time.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 2 tablespoons cream)
Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 4 (6-ounce) flounder fillets

- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Sprinkle pepper and salt evenly over fillets. Place fish on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes; sprinkle evenly with dill. Bake an additional 2 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

I thought that this recipe was quick, easy, tasty, and even easy to clean up after. I substituted whiting for the flounder because I understand that whiting is higher in Omega 3's. (I wanted them for their apparent health benefits.) I'll definitely make this dish again.10/11/09

Was a weird combo--sour cream on top of fish... Too many sour/acidic flavors going on: dill, lemon, sour cream, capers. Wouldn't make again.09/04/09
