Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle flounder fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Dip pieces in flour to coat on both sides. Shake off excess. Beat egg with the water. Dip flour-coated pieces in egg to coat well and then in bread crumbs. Pat fillets on both sides with the flat side of a knife to make the crumbs adhere.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a skillet and add a few fillets in one layer. Cook 1 to 1½ minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Turn and cook about 1 minute on the other side until golden brown.

  4. Step 4

    As the pieces are cooked, transfer them to a warm platter. Continue cooking, adding a little more oil as necessary, until fillets are cooked on both sides.

  5. Step 5

    Pour off oil from skillet and add butter. Cook until it is lightly browned. Add lemon juice and pour the sauce over the fish.
