Ingredients

  • 1 pound flounder fillets
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 
  • Combine butter, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper in a microwave safe cup or bowl. Melt the butter for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave again for 30 seconds. Stir and check that the butter is completely melted. Alternately, melt the butter mixture in a small pan over low heat on the stove.  
  • Pat flounder fillets dry with paper towels and place in a glass baking dish. Pour the melted butter mixture over the flounder.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the flounder fillets. Serve with rice and veggies, if desired.
