Servings

servings
Ingredients
- 2 cup fresh tomatoes, preferably campari, chopped
- 1/4 cup mint, chiffonade
- 1/4 cup basil, chiffonade
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound flounder fillets
- cooking spray
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tomatoes, mint, basil, ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper and set aside. Place the fish on a plate and rub all over with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, add the oil, and set over medium-high heat. When the oil just begins to shimmer, add the fish. Cook until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes. Shake the pan and using a spatula, carefully loosen the fish from the bottom of the pan and remove to a serving plate.*
- Add the tomato mixture to the same skillet and cook until the tomatoes just start to release moisture, scraping the bottom of pan to loosen drippings, about 1-2 minutes. Spoon the tomatoes over the fish and serve.
