Caribbean Jerk Flounder Recipe

Caribbean Jerk Flounder with a Orange Rum Glaze

Jerk Rub:

Blackening Spice- 1/2 cup
Chinese five Spice- 1 Tblsp
Dry Mustard- 1/2 Tblsp
Cayenne- 1-tsp
Brown Sugar-1/2 cup
Zest from one Lime

Orange Rum Glaze:

Diced Orange Rind of 4 Oranges
Corn Syrup-1/4 Cup
Orange Juice-1/4 Cup
Spiced rum- 4oz

Mix all rub ingredients together in mixing bowl, sprinkle evenly over both sides of flounder. Bring a non stick pan to a medium high heat with a spoon of butter and tblsp of blended oil. Place flounder in pan and sear both sides. If the flounder is fairly thin just sear one side, and place on a pan to finish in the oven. This will keep it together and reduce the risk of the fish breaking and falling apart. Finish in a oven at 350 degrees for 5-8 minutes.

For the Glaze boil all the rinds for 2-3 minutes and strain. Repeat this process 3-4 times until they have lost most of there bitter taste. Place in saute pan with corn syrup and bring to a simmer, being sure to keep a close eye on it so not to burn. Once bubbling pull off heat and add rum, return to heat and flambe. Once the flames have extinguished add the orange juice and reduce until it has reached a glaze like consistency.
