Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry flounder fillets.
- Line a baking pan with heavy duty tinfoil.
- Spray the foil with Pam.
- Place fillets on top of the foil in the pan.
- Put dots of butter on top of each fillet.
- Add several drops of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley flakes on each fillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like dill on top of the fillets before broiling. If you don't have flounder, any mild white fish such as tilapia or cod can work as a substitute. In place of butter, try olive oil for a lighter option. Always keep an eye on the fish while broiling, as cooking times may vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled flounder with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a refreshing complement. It pairs beautifully with Cheesy Crab-Stuffed Potatoes for a heartier meal. For a complete seafood experience, consider serving it alongside other dishes from the Seafood recipes category, such as Crab Cakes Delicious.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover broiled flounder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through, avoiding the microwave to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
