Ingredients
- 4 pieces flounder fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven broiler to high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 3
Pat the flounder fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Brush or spoon the olive oil mixture evenly over the top of each flounder fillet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the flounder is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the fillets to serving plates.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
