Bacon-Wrapped Flounder Paleo Recipe

Serves: 6

Ingredients

- 6 large or 12 small flounder fillets (or another mild white fish)
- 18 pieces uncooked bacon, or more (depending on fillet size)
- freshly ground black pepper
- toothpicks that have soaked in water for 30 minutes

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place 6 oven-proof dinner plates on oven racks.

2. Season both sides of fish with pepper.

3. Wrap 3 slices of bacon around each fish fillet and secure each piece with a toothpick. If the bacon is too long, overlap the ends in an X pattern.

4. Preheat a large skillet or stove-top griddle to medium high.

5. Place fish on griddle and cook each side until bacon is cooked, about 10-20 minutes total.
NOTE: The bacon doesn't have to be super crispy, just browned. The fish is likely to be done before the bacon, but the bacon fat will keep the fish from drying out.

6. If you are working in batches, carefully place the cooked fillets on the warm plates and leave them in the oven.

7. To serve, carefully remove the plates from the oven, add mushroom asparagus saute on the side, and transfer to a heat-proof surface (e.g., placemat) on your dining table.
