Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Place the flounder fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the flounder fillets, ensuring each piece is coated.
Step 5
In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with the olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the tops of the flounder fillets.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the flounder from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
