My baked flounder recipe makes flaky, buttery fish in 20 minutes! You only need a few simple ingredients: olive oil, butter, lemon, & spices.

Ingredients

  • 45-oz flounder fillets
  • 1 tbspunsalted butter ((melted))
  • 1 tbspolive oil
  • 1 tbsplemon juice
  • 1 tspsmoked paprika
  • 1 tspgarlic powder
  • 1 tspsea salt
  • ½ tspblack pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, and lemon juice. Brush the butter mixture onto both sides of each fish fillet.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, stir together the paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Season both sides liberally with the seasoning mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake flounder in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (You can cook to 145 degrees F if you like, but it’s more moist and tender at 140 degrees F.) Time can vary depending on the thickness of the fish, so check at 10 minutes.
