Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Place milk in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix together flour, salt and pepper.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working with half of the flounder fillets, dip into milk and then into flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Immediately place fish in heated skillet, sautéing until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to warm platter and cover.
Add remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Dip and sauté remaining fish. Remove to platter.
In the same skillet, simmer tomatoes and honey until tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley, lemon juice and capers. Continue to cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spoon tomato-caper mixture over fish fillets. Garnish with lemon slices and capers.
