Flounder with Creamy Guacamole Sauce

1 avocado, pitted and peeled
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water 
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion or chives
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne, or to taste
2 tablespoons sour cream
3/4 to 2 pounds flounder filets, seasoned with salt and pepper
Canola oil
Tomato, seeded and finely chopped, for garnish, or Avocado and Corn Salsa

In a blender, puree the avocado, lime juice, water, scallion or chives, cumin, cayenne, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, scraping down the sides of the blender, until the sauce is smooth.  Add more water if necessary to thin sauce to desired consistency.

Heat oil in cast iron skillet. Cook flounder in for a few minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through. Serve with avocado sauce, and tomato or avocado and corn salsa.

Note: You can also halve the avocado, puree one half into the sauce, and reserve other half to serve, thinly sliced, with the fish.

Serves 2-4, depending on amount of fish used.
