I thought this was kind of a silly recipe. The salsa is delicious and could be eaten with anything - except flounder, which it really overpowered.
Followed this generally. It was delicious. Pan seared sole in olive oil 2 min per side. Topped with mixture of baby tomatoes, a little tarragon champagne vinegar (not too much), olive oil, minced shallot (about 2tsp), chopped basil, and a little salt. Did not use scallions. The result was perfect--flavorful but not overpowering, very gentle Italian style. Did not put vinegar directly on the fish this time, and it benefitted from less vinegar. This is one to cook often.
