Flounder is our fish of choice, but halibut, cod, tilapia or any other light white fish will work great. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges.

Serves 4 Time 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb flounder fillets
non-stick cooking spray
1/2 tbsp butter substitute (Smart Balance)
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 c white wine, dry variety
1/4 c combination of chives, parsley & tarragon, minced

Directions:

1. Rub salt and pepper into both sides of fish.
2. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-low heat; add olive oil and melt the butter sub. in oil. Add wine and increase heat to medium-high; allow wine to reduce by half.
3. Add fish; cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Flip fish; cook until no longer translucent in the middle, careful not to overcook it, about 2 to 3 minutes more depending on thickness of fish. Remove fish to a serving plate; sprinkle with herbs.
