Tips:
- Select fresh flounder fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch, with bright, clear eyes and a mild, briny smell.
- Properly clean the flounder fillets: Rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to remove any bones or skin.
- Season the fillets generously: Before cooking, season the flounder fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the flounder fillets gently: Flounder is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently to prevent it from overcooking. Pan-frying, baking, or steaming are all good methods for cooking flounder.
- Pair the flounder with flavorful ingredients: Flounder has a mild flavor, so it pairs well with bolder ingredients such as spinach, feta cheese, tomatoes, and lemon.
- Serve the flounder immediately: Flounder is best served fresh out of the oven or pan. If you need to store leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
