Last weekend we visited Normandy and D-Beaches with Kathy and Dave who were visiting for a short week. Gold beach, Juno beach, Omaha beach ... a silent drive along the coast.
We were all deeply moved by the gray winter day scenery, long sandy beaches that were witness to so much human suffering. It was difficult to see the bigger picture when thinking of every human being.
We stayed overnight at the Chateau of St Pierre des Monts, a Bed and Breakfast at St Pierre des Monts, very close to the Pointe d'Hoc were a harsh battle took place. We warmly recommend this place, Mr and Ms Beck are truly welcoming hosts.
Sunday morning I bought at a local fish market. I chose a flounder (1 1/2 lb for two) which I baked 20 minutes in the oven with a little bit of oil, flavored sea salt (a speciality from Guerande with parsley and garlic), and 1/2 glass of white wine. 
I made Roseval boiled potatoes as a garnish. This truly succulent potato has so much flavor that it is perfect simply boiled with just a little bit of salted butter.

When the fish was cooked, I lifted the fillets and served two per plate, spreading some salmon eggs on top.
Bon appetit!
