Instruction manual

Flounder is a rather unusual fish, which has a flat body and an original arrangement of eyes on only one side. Before cooking, clean your fish, remove the skin from the flounder on both sides, remove the entrails, and then cut into portions.
2
Prepare a baking tray: grease it with sunflower oil, it is best to use refined, odorless.
3
Wash onions and cut into small rings. Initially, put the onion in a single layer on a baking sheet. Please note that the flounder has a light-colored abdomen, the skin there is much softer, therefore, on the baking sheet, place the flounder pieces with the dark side down. In this way, the fish is best fried.
4
Be sure to salt your dish, otherwise the fish may taste bad. As a mixture of peppers, you can use yellow, red, black and others. It is this combination that will give your dish an unusual aroma.
5
Wash sweet bell pepper, remove the core, seeds and cut into pieces that need to be laid on top of the fish. Top your dish with sprinkled sesame seeds: during baking, they will be slightly fried and will complement the taste and aroma of the fish.

Rub the cheese on a medium grater and sprinkle your fish: by the end of cooking, it will become fried and sufficiently melted.
