Aromatic Baked Flounder over Capellini

Flounder are known for their firm texture and delicate sweet flavor. Founder is lean fish, so it is not suitable for stir-frying or grilling and can dry out if overcooked. Capellini, also called angel hair, is a perfect complement for flounder; it’s a very thin pasta that cooks quickly.
