Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons of melted butter
2 1/2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 Teaspoons Garlic
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Pound Flounder Fillets
3/4 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Steps:

Go ahead and preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Grab a baking dish big enough for the fillets and start to butter the entire inside then set the pan aside.
Get a small bowl and whisk together your melted butter with garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and pepper until everything is thoroughly mixed together.
Pat your flounder filets with paper towels and place them evenly in the baking dish. Pour over the lemon garlic butter mixture and then sprinkle some smoked paprika on top of everything.
Bake the fillets in the oven for about 15-20 minutes depending on how thick your filets are or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. You can also use a thermometer to measure the internal temp. You want it to reach 140-145 degrees.
Remove your fish from the oven and garnish them with some fresh cut parsley and lemon wedges. The parsley is optional but it does give the fish a nice freshness and taste.
When it's ready, serve it with a side dish of your choice.
