Broiled Crisp Flounder Recipes

BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Heat brolier on high.
• Score the fish in two or three spots on the dark side.
• Melt butter and worcestershire sauce with juce from half a lemon and garlic.
• Rub fish down with salt and pepper on both sides, depending on the size of your fish you might need more or less salt and pepper.
• Put fish under the broiler for 3 minuets.
• Slide the fish out of the broiler and paint it with butter and garlic sauce every minuet or so untill the fish is done. I follow this rule: if you can stick a toothpick into the widest part of the fish, then place the toothpick to your lips and the toothpick is warm, your fish is done.
• When fish is done drizzle with the juice from the other half of your lemon.
• I like putting the whole fish on the table and let everybody digin.

PARMESAN BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Place fillets in a single layer on a lightly greased or pan sprayed, shallow oven-to-table type broiler pan. Brush with lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients to make the cheese topping mixture. Set aside.
• Broil fillets 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and temperature of your oven/broiler.).
• Remove fillets from oven. Spread with Parmesan topping.
• Broil an additional 30 seconds or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly (be careful to watch it, or it can burn).
• Garnish with lemon twists and parsley, if desired.
• Note: Mushy cooked fish is a result of either 1) overcooking/overheating, or 2) over-marinating (which, science-wise, is another method of partial cooking, depending on the marinade). Since the flounder in the recipe is not marinated, if the fish comes out mushy I suspect the results are the from overcooking. Either the fish was left under the broiler for too long, the temperature of the broiler is too high, or the rack on which the the pan placed under the broiler is too close to the heat.

FRENCH BROILED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Sauce: Put all sauce ingredients [everything labeled "for sauce"] together in blender and blend until smooth and refrigerate for 2 hours to "cure" or thicken a bit.
• Prep: Score top of flounder in diamond pattern, dash carefully with lemon juice, add garlic, and sprinkle with the pinch of white pepper.
• Brush liberally with sauce and broil for 2 minutes, brushing once more. Return to broil for 2-4 more minutes or until fish is light and flaky when prodded gently with fork.
• You should have enough sauce for 8 fish, and therefore [depending on how many fish you're baking], will have sauce left over for salad, vegetable dip, etc.

BROILED FLOUNDER (WW)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Spray broiler pan/rack with Pam.
• Using the flat side of a knife mash the garlic and salt together to form a paste.
• In a small cup or bowl combine the garlic with the next 3 ingredients (mustard - horseradish).
• Sprinkle both sides of fish with pepper and then transfer fish to the prepared broiler pan.
• Using a pastry brush or a knife, brush garlic/mustard mixture over one side of fish.
• Broil for 5 minutes or until fish is done and flakes easily with a fork.

CRISPY FLOUNDER FILLETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet & set aside.
• 2. Combine corn flakes or panko crumbs with flour, salt pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika if using panko crumbs, place in zip lock bag or shallow dish.

BROILED CRISP FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with a broiler pan inside the oven.
• Rinse the fish well and pat dry with paper towels. Place the green onion, lemon slice, and dill in the cavity. Dust the fish with the potato starch and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the seafood seasoning generously all over the fish.
• Remove the hot broiler pan from the oven and drizzle with oil. Put the fish on the pan and broil for 5 minutes or until the skin is browned and the flesh is opaque and flakes with a fork. Serve immediately with a splash of extra-virgin olive oil.
