Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined. Generously brush this mixture over the top of each flounder fillet.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the breadcrumb topping.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the Dijon-coated flounder fillets, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the flounder is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumb topping should be golden and crispy.
Remove the baked flounder from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges or your favorite side dishes.
