Ingredients

• 4 pieces flounder fillets
• 0.5 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces orange slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the flounder fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish is grilling, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, bringing it to a simmer. This will create a flavorful drizzle for serving.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled flounder to a serving platter. Drizzle the heated marinade over the top and garnish with fresh parsley and orange slices.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
