Juicer for lemon juice

Ingredients

4 fillets flounder 6 ounces each / 170 grams each
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 30 ml
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 3.8 grams
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped 3.8 grams
½ tsp sea salt 2.5 grams
¼ tsp black pepper 0.5 grams
¼ tsp paprika 0.5 grams
Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of the melted butter or use a non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to create a flavorful herb-butter mixture.
Place the flounder fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the herb-butter mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake the flounder fillets in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

Ensure flounder fillets are patted dry before adding the herb-butter mixture to prevent sogginess.

Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets; thicker fillets may require additional time.
