Fresh Grilled Flounder with Lemon
A citrus-infused seafood delight, perfect for summer grilling.
Equipment
- 1 grill preheated to medium-high
- 1 small bowl
- 1 brush for marinating
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 flounder fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Brush this mixture on both sides of each fillet.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F). Place lemon slices on the grill and lay the flounder fillets on top. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
- Remove fillets from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with additional lemon slices.
Storage
- Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
