Ingredients

• 4 pieces flounder fillets
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil, then arrange the flounder fillets in a single layer in the dish.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 6

Pour the butter mixture evenly over the flounder fillets, ensuring each piece is coated.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 9

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
