Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flounder fillets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until evenly combined. The mixture should resemble damp sand.
Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fillet, pressing it gently onto the fish to create a crust.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the crust to help it turn golden brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flounder is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the flounder fillets warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
