Pan-Fried Flounder with Brown Butter-Wine Sauce

Last night we had Whiting.  The recipe I found called for Flounder, so I just substituted the Whiting for the Flounder.  We all liked it a lot.  With this I made a wilted spinach salad with hot bacon dressing.  I loved it, but neither Del nor Patrick liked it.  The fish recipe is a keeper however!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 flounder fillets (I use Whiting)
3/4 cup butter, divided
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 Tablespoon capers (I was out of these)

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, and pepper.  Dredge fillets in flour mixture to coat.
2.  In a large skillet, melt 2 Tablespoons butter over medium heat.  Add 3 fillets, and cook for 3 - 4 min. per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Repeat procedure with 2 tablespoons butter and remaining fillets.  Remove from pan, cover, and keep warm.
3.  Add remaining 1/2 cup butter to skillet, and cook for 3 - 4 minutes over med. heat or until butter is lightly browned.  Add wine, and cook for 1 minute.  Stir in capers.
4.  Pour over fish.
