Ingredients
  

  • 6 Flounder Fillets or Sea Bass 1lb
  • 3 tablespoons of pine nuts
  • 2 cups of fresh basil
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil more if needed
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Toast pine nuts in a skillet for 2 minutes or until brown and fragrant - gently toss them around so they don't burn. In a food processor or blender add the lemon juice, pine nuts, basil and olive oil. Pulse together to make a slightly textured pesto. Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil. Then place the flounder fillets in a single layer and Spread the pesto over the fillets. Place the tray about 6" from the broiler and cook about 10 minutes, or until opaque in color and can be flaked with a fork.

Notes

ALTERNATIVE: Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F in a greased baking dish for 20 minutes or until opaque and can be flaked with a fork.
