Instructions
Sauté the onions in a bit of butter over a medium until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, green pepper, green chili, water, 2 tsp of Creole seasoning and cover. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Cook longer if you want it more like a relish and less like a sauce).
While the vegetables cook, season the flounder with the rest of the creole seasoning.
Heat up a second pan to a high heat and melt a knob of butter in it. Sear the flounder for approximately 1-2 minutes and then carefully transfer to the finished sauce, seared side up,.
Cook the fish in the sauce until fully cooked, another minute or two.
Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and add some fresh cilantro on top.
