Chef's Tip

Flounder works beautifully with simple Italian flavours because its delicate texture absorbs lemon, garlic, tomato, and herbs without becoming overwhelmed. Gentle baking helps keep the fish moist and flaky while allowing the natural sweetness of the flounder to shine through. Fresh parsley and citrus at the end add brightness and balance, creating a light, clean seafood dish full of Mediterranean character.
