Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flounder fillets
• 400 grams Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained)
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 piece Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 60 milliliters White wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the artichoke and tomato mixture to a large baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 5

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, season the flounder fillets with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika. Drizzle both sides of the fillets with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven after 10 minutes and create space in the center of the tray for the flounder fillets.

Step 8

Place the flounder fillets onto the baking sheet and pour the lemon juice and white wine (if using) over the top.

Step 9

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the flounder is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish the flounder and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately, optionally with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad.
