Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil, then arrange the flounder fillets in a single layer in the dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the flounder fillets, ensuring each piece is coated.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
