Ingredients
  

4 flounder fillets, skinless

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Breading: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the whole wheat flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the almond milk until smooth. Leave the third dish empty for the coated fillets.

    Coat the Fillets: Take each flounder fillet and dip it in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally place it on the empty plate. Repeat until all fillets are coated.

      Cook the Fillets: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through.

        Make the Sauce: Once the fillets are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add lemon juice and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom to create a flavorful sauce.

          Assemble the Dish: Return the cooked fillets to the skillet, spooning a little of the sauce over them to warm through.

            Serve: Place the flounder on a serving plate, drizzle more sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
