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)."

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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm flounder fillets. Look for fillets that are bright white in color and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are yellowed, slimy, or have a strong fishy odor.
- Preheat your broiler before cooking. This will help to create a crispy bread crumb topping and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Use a light hand when breading the fish. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
- Broil the fish until the bread crumb topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Serve the flounder immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for flounder include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.
