BROILED FLOUNDER WITH BUTTER AND LEMON
Steps:
- Pre-heat broiler. In a glass baking dish add the lemon juice, chili flake, butter and olive oil. Place in oven for about one minute, just long enough to melt the butter and remove.
- Season fish lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the melted butter-lemon mixture and place under broiler for 6 to 8 minutes. To serve place on a serving plate and spoon the sauce from the dish on top.
- Note: Broilers that are under the oven can be too hot for this dish. Ideally you want the dish to broil at least ten to twelve inches below the fire. If your broiler is too close to the fish then use the same method except bake the fish in a 500 degree oven for a very similar effect.
FLAVORFUL FLOUNDER FOR THE OVEN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season both sides of flounder fillets with salt. Place into the prepared baking dish. Brush 1 tablespoon lemon juice over fillets.
- Mix remaining lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, and green onions in a bowl; spoon over the fillets.
- Bake flounder in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Switch oven to broil; broil fillets until the tops are just browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat brolier on high.
- Score the fish in two or three spots on the dark side.
- Melt butter and worcestershire sauce with juce from half a lemon and garlic.
- Rub fish down with salt and pepper on both sides, depending on the size of your fish you might need more or less salt and pepper.
- Put fish under the broiler for 3 minuets.
- Slide the fish out of the broiler and paint it with butter and garlic sauce every minuet or so untill the fish is done. I follow this rule: if you can stick a toothpick into the widest part of the fish, then place the toothpick to your lips and the toothpick is warm, your fish is done.
- When fish is done drizzle with the juice from the other half of your lemon.
- I like putting the whole fish on the table and let everybody digin.

Steps:
- Place fillets in a single layer on a lightly greased or pan sprayed, shallow oven-to-table type broiler pan. Brush with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients to make the cheese topping mixture. Set aside.
- Broil fillets 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and temperature of your oven/broiler.).
- Remove fillets from oven. Spread with Parmesan topping.
- Broil an additional 30 seconds or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly (be careful to watch it, or it can burn).
- Garnish with lemon twists and parsley, if desired.
- Note: Mushy cooked fish is a result of either 1) overcooking/overheating, or 2) over-marinating (which, science-wise, is another method of partial cooking, depending on the marinade). Since the flounder in the recipe is not marinated, if the fish comes out mushy I suspect the results are the from overcooking. Either the fish was left under the broiler for too long, the temperature of the broiler is too high, or the rack on which the the pan placed under the broiler is too close to the heat.

BROILED FLOUNDER (SO EASY!)
This is one of the easiest ways to prepare fish. We ate lots of flounder growning up. I say that tongue-in-cheek. We actually did eat lots of fish, but for some reason when she was really little my baby sister declared the only fish she liked was flounder. So whenever we had fish, no matter what kind it was, if somewhat asked what kind of fish it was we always answered, "Flounder (wink,wink)."

BROILED FLOUNDER (WW)
This is from an old WW cookbook (Weight Watchers 365 Day Menu Cookbook), before they had points, but I think if following the WW flex plan this is about 3 points per serving. I also think this will work for other fish -- although the point value may change along with the cooking time if using a thicker fish. This is good served with baked potatoes and salad for a very low point meal that no one will ever guess is Weight Watchers. Although this serves only 2 - it is easily adjusted to serve as many servings as needed.
