"Alex be sure to use these mangoes- they're becoming overripe", my Mom told me one night while I was prepping dinner. We defrosted flounder which has a very mild taste when eaten plain. So I completely ad libbed dinner and boiled down the soft mangoes until they were a sweet and thick sauce. Not only did they add a level of flavor to the fish, the mangoes also give dinner a summery feel!
Ingredients:
For the Fish:
Flounder--- 1 LB
Salt and Pepper--- To Taste
Lemon Juice--- 1 TSP
For the Sauce:
Mangoes (diced)--- 3 Small or 1 Large
Orange (diced)--- 1 (Large)
Water--- 1/4 CUP
Salt--- Pinch
Step by Step:
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Peel and dice mangoes into small pieces
- In a small pot, add mango chunks, orange & water. Bring to a boil then let simmer uncovered for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the fruit has thickened and is not too lumpy, the sauce can be removed from the heat.
- Season flounder and bake at 425F for 20 minutes
- Once fish is cooked through, serve with mango sauce
