Poached Flounder with Sweet Corn Salsa
Prep 20 min Cook 5 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 batch (sweet corn salsa)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 large garlic cloves, (crushed)
  • 1/2 jalapeño
  • Juice from half a lime
  • 4 (4-ounce) flounder fillets
  • Kosher salt

Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Salsa: I use about half of my sweet corn salsa recipe for this flounder (The leftovers are great on eggs the next morning or chips, you do your thing!)

  2. 2

    Poach the fish: If you’re making the salsa the same day, set the same large, high-sided saute pan you used to cook the salsa (no need to wipe it out) over medium-high heat, add 2 cups water, half a jalapeño chili half, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the fish fillets. Poach for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Enjoy: Use a spatula to carefully transfer the fillets to a wide shallow bowl, and lightly season with salt. Top with a few tablespoons of salsa, a few spoonfuls of liquid from the salsa, and serve.
