  1. To prepare Sorrento-style Flounder Fillets, start by making the tomato sauce: heat some olive oil in a non-stick pan and sauté a peeled garlic clove until golden. Once the garlic is golden, add the tomato passata. Slice the pitted black olives into rounds and add them to the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then cook over low heat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the flounder fillets: pour flour into a deep plate, add chopped oregano, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Thoroughly coat the fillets with flour on both sides. Heat olive oil in a pan, and once hot, cook the fish for about two minutes per side, turning them carefully with tongs to prevent breaking. The fillets should be golden brown.
  3. Once your Sorrento-style Flounder Fillets are golden brown, place them in the prepared tomato and olive sauce. Let them cook for a couple more minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Add a few fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
