Ingredients

  1. 4 flounder fillets (approx. 150–180g each)
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  7. 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  8. Seasoned bread crumbs, for topping
  9. Lemon wedges, for serving
  10. Cooking spray or extra oil, for greasing the baking sheet

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, black pepper and, if using, garlic powder.
  3. Drizzle the melted butter (or olive oil) evenly over the flounder fillets.
  4. Arrange the lemon slices over each fillet.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs evenly over each fillet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the flounder flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip

Flounder is best when cooked gently, allowing its delicate, flaky texture and mild sweetness to remain the focus of the dish. Baking the fish with butter, lemon, and light seasoning keeps it moist while enhancing its natural flavour without overpowering it. A crisp breadcrumb topping adds texture and contrast, creating a simple yet elegant seafood meal that feels light, fresh, and comforting.
