"Flounder is baked in a Parmesan tomato sauce made with Italian herbs and seasonings, olives, and white wine."

Ingredients:

5 roma (plum) tomatoes

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 Spanish onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 pinch Italian seasoning

24 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup capers

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

6 leaves fresh basil, chopped

3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

cheese

1 pound flounder fillets

6 leaves fresh basil, torn

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Plunge tomatoes into the boiling water and immediately remove to a medium bowl of ice water; drain. Remove and discard skins from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in olives, wine, capers, lemon juice, and 1/2 the basil. Reduce heat, blend in Parmesan cheese, and cook until the mixture is reduced to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.

Place flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour sauce over the fillets and top with remaining basil leaves.

Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
