Baked Flounder with Lemon Garlic and Butter is an easy dinner that goes from prep to table in under 30 minutes. The fish is buttery, flaky, and full of fresh citrus and garlic flavors.
Who doesn’t love an easy meal that’s big on flavor? We are big fans of quick and easy dishes that use fresh herbs, citrus, and spices to add flavor without a lot of fuss.
Baked flounder with lemon garlic and butter is one of those meals. The flounder is baked in a lemon butter sauce filled with fresh garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Then the fish gets sprinkled with smoked paprika for an extra touch. Flounder is a light, white fish that flakes beautifully and pairs well with vegetables or salad for an easy dinner.
Much like our oven baked Mahi Mahi, Chilean Sea Bass and baked cod with Panko, this recipe comes together quickly and bakes up in no time! I love that it bakes in one pan, so cleanup is super easy.
