Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding herbs like parsley or dill to the olive oil and lemon mixture. If you don't have flounder, other white fish like tilapia or cod can be used as substitutes. Ensure the fish is fresh for the best results. Broiling requires careful attention; keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
