Recipe by: The Gates Country Lodge
Ingredients
1 medium flounder per person (the recipe is per flounder)
1 tablespoon of butter
Salt and pepper
Zest of ½ a lemon
40g of thinly sliced fennel bulb
2 tablespoons of Riesling
A piece of aluminium foil large enough that the fish can be completely wrapped in.
Method
Remove the tail and head of the flounder and trim off the fins with scissors.
Place the flounder in the middle of the foil, sprinkle with fennel and tuck some underneath.
Fold the sides of the foil up, season the fish with salt and pepper, add a knob of butter, a dash of Riesling and seal up the parcel by crimping the sides and folding together.
Cook in a shallow pan in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes.
Cooking time will depend on the size of the fish. Check by carefully unfolding the top of the foil parcel.
