INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 teaspoons garlic cloves, minced or pressed (about 3 small cloves)
½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 pound flounder fillets, patted dry with paper towels
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325°F, and butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel, then place them in the prepared baking dish. Pour the butter mixture over the fillets. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (may need a few more minutes for thick fillets), or until the flounder flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon. Serve hot with a salad or steamed veggies.
