Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the broiler to high and position the oven rack about 4-6 inches from the heating element.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
Pat the flounder fillets dry using paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the flounder fillets generously with the prepared mixture, ensuring even coating on each fillet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil the fillets for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the flounder from the oven and transfer it to serving plates.
Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
