Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Rinse flounder fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and white wine until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the flounder fillets. (2 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Sprinkle each fillet with seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Finish with a delicate pinch of paprika over each. (3 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the flounder is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. This should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). (30 minutes)
06
Step
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Serve the baked flounder immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the flounder fillets before baking.
If you don't have white wine on hand, chicken broth or even a little extra melted butter will work as a substitute.
Be careful not to overbake the flounder, as it can become dry. The fish is done when it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the baked flounder with a side of roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or a bed of rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
