Ingredients
- 1 tsp cooking spray or vegetable oil or melted butter
- 6 flounder fillets
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 oz lemon 6 slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Next prep the baking sheet. Add a layer of aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. This is an important step for ensuring the fish doesn't stick to the sheet pan.
- Lay the fillets out on the aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle on seasonings. If you have thicker fillets, you'll want to season both sides (double the seasonings).
- Slice butter into 6 thin pieces and lay one atop each fillet.
- Do the same with each of the lemon slices.
- Place baking sheet on top rack and broil flounder for 8 minutes. Thicker fillets may take about 12 minutes to cook though. Use a meat thermometer if you would like to double-check. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees.
- If fillets are done, remove the cooking sheet from the oven.
- Use a spatula to move the flounder to a serving plate.

Notes
- You can use nonstick spray or brush the cooking surface with vegetable oil or melted butter
- Butter slices on top of the fillets is a totally optional step, but it does add flavor. The butter melts as the fish cooks.
- You can bake the fish with lemon slices or squeeze lemon juice on fillets before cooking
