Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Flounder Fillet
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cup White Wine
- 1 Lemon, juice and optional garnish
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
- Grape Tomatoes, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Flounder: Pat the flounder fillets dry, then season both sides evenly with salt and ground black pepper. Place the fillets in a shallow baking dish suitable for broiling.
- Prepare the Sriracha Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the white wine, freshly squeezed lemon juice from one lemon, garlic powder, sriracha, salt, ground black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
- Broil the Fish: Pour the prepared sriracha butter sauce evenly over the flounder fillets. Arrange grape tomatoes around the fish if using. Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 8 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the fish from the oven and carefully transfer to serving plates along with the roasted tomatoes. Spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the fish. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- Broiling is a quick cooking method that requires close attention to avoid overcooking; watch the fish carefully after 6 minutes.
- Grape tomatoes add a fresh, sweet contrast, but can be omitted if preferred.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute with a mild chili sauce.
- Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor; bottled lemon juice can make the sauce less vibrant.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a light grain like quinoa for a balanced meal.
