Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 1 cup button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the flounder fillets in a single layer.
Thinly slice the button mushrooms and finely mince the garlic.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined to form a creamy topping.
Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cheese and mushroom mixture evenly over the top of each flounder fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the baked flounder before serving.
Serve hot with suggested sides like steamed vegetables, rice pilaf, or a crisp salad.
