When you make this Oven Baked Flounder you will look like a chef because no one could make this dish better than you! It’s easy! And you cantweek the ingredients all kinds of different ways and youwill still have it turn out great. Growing up in New Jersey there was always fresh flounder available. My Mom rode the bus home from work and on Friday she would stop at the fish store. And about half the time the freshest available was flounder. This isbasically how she madeit andsupperwas on the table in well under ahalf-hour.
How To make Your Oven Baked Flounder
Turn the oven on at 400°F. Rinse off the fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Spray a cookie sheet with oil and spread the fillets out on it. You could line the cookie sheet with aluminum foil before you spray it for an easier cleanup. In a bowl 1/4 cup olive oil or melt 1/2 stick of butter and add 1 tablespoon garlic powder, salt, pepper, juice from 1/2 of a lemon and dried parsley flakes. Here’s where you get to do it your own way. With the basic oil or butter then you can addlots of different things that you like.Paprika, Parmesan cheese, honey, red pepper flakes, balsamicvinegar and on and on.
Brush the mixture over theflounder saving some for the veggies.
For the veggies
Line a small baking pan with foil and put in some potatoes cut into about 3/4 inch cubes andsome frozen broccoli florets orcarrots. Brush them with the rest of the butter (or oil) mixture andput everything in the oven at the same time.
Sevenminutes on bake then threeminutes on broil, but, all ovens are different so watch them. When the flounder starts to sizzle around the edges switch from bake to broil and then as soon as they start to get the slightest brown on top take them out. The veggies will keep up with the fish so it all should be ready to go.
You are the chef! A nice dry white wine would go along good with your Oven Baked Flounder. Gammy likes Pinot Grigio so thats what we have (surprised?) And since the oven is on, some of poppop’s easy homemade bread wouldn’t slow things down.
And here is another flounder recipe for you!
