Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 0.5 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces orange slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Place the flounder fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, bringing it to a simmer. This will create a flavorful drizzle for serving.
Transfer the grilled flounder to a serving platter. Drizzle the heated marinade over the top and garnish with fresh parsley and orange slices.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
