Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flounder fillets
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the oven rack about 4-6 inches away from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the flounder fillets dry using paper towels and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, softened butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a spoon or spatula, evenly spread the Parmesan mixture over the top of each flounder fillet, ensuring a thick and even coating.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the fish from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
