Basic Grilled Flounder Food

GRILLED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Make the brine: Put salt and sugar in a large bowl or pot, and add around a half-gallon of water, stirring to combine and dissolve the salt and sugar.
• Set the burners on a gas grill to medium. When it is hot, scrape grates to make sure they are very clean. (If using a charcoal grill, build a fire in your grill. When coals are covered with gray ash and you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds, you are ready to cook.)
• While grill heats, slide the flounder fillets into the brine and allow them to sit for approximately 10 minutes, then remove from the brine and pat very dry with paper towel. Season fillets with salt and pepper, then apply just a little oil to one side of each fillet, lightly spreading it with your fingers to cover the flesh.
• Apply some more oil to a paper towel and, using tongs to protect your hands, use the towel to oil the grill grates. They will smoke furiously. Gently lay the fish fillets, oiled-side down, onto the grates. Cook until the fish has started to turn translucent at its edges, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from grill and place, grilled-side up, on a warmed platter. The fish will continue to cook as it rests.
• Top each fillet with a small pat of butter, some chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon, then serve.

BASIC GRILLED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Methods: Gather all materials. Marinate the flounder in Worcestershire sauce. Place flounder on a greased pan (or grill). Be sure to grease the pan or grille or the flounder will stick. Sprinkle soul food seasoning (or seasoned salt) on flounder. Flip and repeat on the other side. Serve, adding lemon juice if desired.

EASY, EXCELLENT BAKED FLOUNDER

• Rinse flounder fillets, pat dry, and place on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk butter and wine together in a bowl; pour over flounder. Sprinkle each fillet with bread crumbs and then paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flounder flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.

QUICK AND EASY GRILLED FLOUNDER FILLETS

Steps:

• Brush each skinned filet on both sides with olive oil.
• Dust BOTH sides with cyanine pepper, smoked paprika and sea salt to taste.
• Place the filets in a fish basket.
• Put the basket on a PRE HEATED, HOT grill.
• Cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish.
• For a 1/2 inch filet, I use 90 seconds per side, then repeat for a total time of 6 minutes and the edges just turning golden.
• Don't wait till the flesh flakes or it's over cooked and will probably be dry.
• Enjoy with your favorite sides!

OVEN-GRILLED HALIBUT, FLOUNDER, OR SEA BASS

Steps:

• Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 5 to 6 inches from the top of the oven. Coat a ridged cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray and place it in the oven on the top rack. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F.
• Rub the fish fillets with the vegetable, sesame, and chili oils. Mix the garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and rub both sides of the fillets with the mixture. Place the fish on the preheated skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Turn the fish over carefully and cook for 5 to 7 more minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork but is still moist. Total cooking time is approximately 10 minutes.

FLAVORFUL FLOUNDER

Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 4 minutes. Combine Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, onions and salt; brush over fillets. Grill 3-4 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
