Cooking Instructions

1. Preparation

Preheat your broiler, fryer, or grill depending on the cooking method you choose.

2. Season the Fish

Rinse the whole flounder under cold water and pat dry. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture all over the flounder, inside and out.

3. Cooking Methods

For Broiling: Place the flounder on a broiler pan and broil for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For Frying: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the flounder for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. For Blackening: Heat a cast-iron skillet until very hot, then sprinkle blackening seasoning on both sides of the flounder and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.

4. Serving

Remove the flounder from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of sides.
