Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Pat the flounder fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush or spoon the olive oil mixture evenly over the top of each flounder fillet.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the flounder is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the fillets to serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
