Nigel Slater's Baked Flounder with Parmesan Crumbs for Potluck

It's Potluck time at I Heart Cooking Club and I am bringing a dish from one of my favorites - Nigel Slater.  Have you ever perused one of his Kitchen Diaries cookbooks?  It's so much more than a cookbook.  As the title suggests it's a diary about his kitchen and garden interspersed with good recipes.

I have read through most of the Kitchen Diaries as well as Tender, sometimes just for the prose, visualizing his garden with the plants, the foxes and that great dining table he talks about.  But today, I bring you a recipe of Nigel's that I found in Food and Wine magazine online.  Baked Flounder with Parmesan Crumbs.

It's easy, you toss it in the oven and 15 minutes later you have a good meal.  Perfect for a workday or a lazy day.
