Broiled Flounder Filet With Clarified Butter

Ingredients: 1 Flounder (bones removed)
                   Kosher salt
                   Black pepper
                   Lemon pepper seasoning
                   Onion powder
                   1 stick of real butter          (unsalted)
                   Parsley Flakes

Recipe: Buy a flounder in which the bones have been removed. Season lightly with kosher salt, black pepper, lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, and parsley flakes. Place the seasoned fish on a foil lined baking sheet that had been prepared with a non stick cooking spray. Set the oven to broil. Place the fish in the oven for approximately 10 minutes. The fish is done when you touch it and the fish begins to flake. If the fish is firm to the touch, cook a few minutes longer. 

To make the clarified butter, cut the stick of butter into several smaller pieces and place in a sauce pan. Begin to melt the butter on low heat. A white foam will develop on top of the melted butter. Remove the foam by using a spoon. Then strain the butter through several layers of cheese cloth, lined in a strainer. Place the clarified butter in a small sauce cup and serve on the side of the fish, for dipping. Enjoy!
