Ingredients

• 4 pieces flounder fillets
• 1 cup button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the flounder fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

Thinly slice the button mushrooms and finely mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined to form a creamy topping.

Step 5

Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels, then place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Spread the cheese and mushroom mixture evenly over the top of each flounder fillet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the baked flounder before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with suggested sides like steamed vegetables, rice pilaf, or a crisp salad.
