Flounder in white wine is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the delicate taste of fish with the depth of dry white wine. This recipe has its roots in the culinary traditions of coastal regions of Europe, where fresh fish has always held a central place on the table. Flounder baked in a fragrant sauce with onions, broth, and herbs acquires a refined texture that literally melts in your mouth.
