The highlight of this recipe is the vegetable butter sauce (the consistency of a tapenade remaining after the fish has been poached and the additional vegetables are added. I used butter as my base instead of oil, but kept all other ingredients the same.
This recipe could be used with a variety of mild fish, but I thought the flounder had a bitter taste that conflicted with the wonderful flavor of the sauce. Perhaps it was the quality of the flounder I used. I served it with rice pilaf and a fresh spinach salad dressed with balasmic vinaigrette. I will definitely prepare it again.

I used halibut instead of flounder and it may have been the best halibut I've had.

My 5 year old daughter requested flounder for dinner and of course I needed to use up some our summer bounty from the farmstand. This was the perfect recipe! I added some chopped zucchini but left out the spinach. I also poached the fish a couple extra minutes. We served it with sauteed Swiss Chard in garlic and onions on the side and this dish was just delightful. My daughter just loved this!
