1
Prepare the Flounder
Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2
Sear the Flounder
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the flounder fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3
Make the Brown Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and then cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
4
Add Capers and Lime
Once the butter is browned, add the capers, lime juice, and lime zest to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.

5
Plate the Dish
Place the flounder fillets on individual plates and spoon the brown butter sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
