Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Flounder
Rinse the flounder fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess moisture.
- 2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. This will help to release their flavor when cooked.
- 3
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Cooking

Marinate the Flounder
Place the flounder fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 5
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat some additional olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the marinated flounder fillets to the skillet.
- 6
Cook the Flounder
Cook the flounder fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.

Garnish and Serve
Remove the flounder from the skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and additional parsley if desired.
