Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Line a broiler-safe baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Pat dry the flounder fillets with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the top of the flounder fillets.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 4-6 inches from the heat source.
Broil the flounder for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fillets rest for a minute.
Transfer the fillets to serving plates and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
