Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for baking or set your broiler to high if broiling.

Step 2

In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter to room temperature.

Place the flounder fillets on the prepared pan and spread the herb butter evenly over the top of each fillet.

Step 8

If desired, place a lemon slice on top of each fillet for extra flavor.

For baking: Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

For broiling: Place the pan under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and slightly golden on top.
