Flounder with Festive Green Beans
























This dish is easy, healthy and delicious. The fish only takes a few minutes to saute and the green beans are just as easy. If you have 10 minutes, then you can have a great meal. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
- 2 flounder fillets
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 package frozen green beans
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- crushed red pepper
- garlic powder
- oregano
- fresh parsley

To Make:
First, begin by slicing the red bell pepper into long strips. Drizzle olive oil into a medium size pan and saute the bell pepper for 1 minute. Next, add in the green beans. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the green beans are tender.

In the meantime, season ONE side of the flounder LIGHTLY with salt and pepper, oregano and garlic powder. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil for about 1 minute on medium high heat and once the oil is hot, cook the flounder about 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon and top with a lemon slice and freshly chopped parsley.

Serve together and enjoy!
