Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flounder fillets
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. You should aim for about 12-16 ribbons.
Finely chop the parsley and garlic. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will serve as your marinade.
Lay the flounder fillets flat on a cutting board. Brush each fillet generously with the marinade.
Place 2-3 ribbons of zucchini on top of each flounder fillet, overlapping slightly.
Gently roll the flounder and zucchini lengthwise into a tight bundle. Secure each roll with a toothpick to hold its shape.
Transfer the flounder zucchini bundles to the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the bundles and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the bundles rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Carefully remove the toothpicks.
Serve warm with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables and enjoy your Flounder Zucchini Bundles!
