Mediterranean Flounder
Here's a light
fish that’s both tasty and easy to make.
Beautiful red pepper, crunchy pine nuts and
Italian breadcrumbs complement high-protein
flounder, adding soft flavor and texture to this
simple fish. A good source of vitamins B6 and
B12, phosphorous and selenium, this is a great
recipe for cancer prevention and overall good
health. The healthiest flounder is U.S. Pacific
Wild Caught Flounder.
