The recipe is simple and great! Our guests were very pleased. Hello to America. We all buy the NYT to support your wonderful country in this very difficult times! Cooking is making more friendships than the muslim ban! We count on you, be strong.
Why not just sauté the fish in a non-stick skillet, remove to a heated plate, then make the sauce in the same pan? Then, just place the fish back in the sauce to serve. No broiler to pre-heat, and no broiler pan to clean. Come to think of it, this might be just as good with chicken breast pounded thin or maybe shrimp. This sauce could make an old sneaker taste delicious.

One of the best fish dishes I’ve ever eaten. Made as directed, used halibut. Prep takes awhile—those thyme leaves…. B
I subbed cilantro for thyme, because our thyme hasn't come up yet outside. I cut the butter/oil in half, and then added some chicken broth and Sauvignon Blanc to add to the sauce. I also put cut-up broccoli and a red onion cut into quarters into the pan, drizzled/tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and draped the flounder over those veggies, roasted at 425F for almost 15 minutes. Served with white rice mixed with sauteed shallots and black beans, with added ground curry. Excellent!
Don’t know if I overcooked the fish but it is very dry.
