Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Plunge tomatoes into the boiling water and immediately remove to a medium bowl of ice water, drain. Remove and discard skins from tomatoes. Chop tomatoes and set aside.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasoning, cook until tomatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in olives, wine, capers, lemon juice, and 1/2 the basil. Reduce heat, blend in Parmesan cheese, and cook until the mixture is reduced to a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.

  4. Place flounder in a shallow baking dish. Pour sauce over the fillets and top with remaining basil leaves.

  5. Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
