Fast and fresh, Flounder is a thin white fish that cooks in minutes. It has a very light flavor, making it a perfect starter choice for the fish averse! This simple recipe comes together in about 15 minutes and tastes super fresh. Flounder cooks really fast so it’s best to keep a watchful eye on it so that it’s not overdone and dry. If you have tilapia or grouper, this recipe will go just as well. Try flaking your fish with a fork to see if it is truly cooked through. Serve this over some couscous or brown rice to absorb any tasty juices. Add a favorite green salad or steam some broccoli or green beans to complete the meal.
