How people cook with it
Flounder fillets are versatile and can be prepared in many ways. They are a good choice for quick weeknight meals.
- Pan-fried for a crispy exterior
- Baked with lemon and herbs
- Steamed with ginger and soy sauce
- Added to fish tacos
To prepare, thaw the flounder fillets completely in the refrigerator. For pan-frying, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. For baking, place fillets on a baking sheet, season, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until opaque and flaky. You can also bake them with your favorite seasonings or a light sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other white fish like cod or haddock, flounder has a finer flake and a more delicate, slightly sweeter flavor. Its thinner fillets also tend to cook more quickly, making it ideal for fast preparations.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a simple and mild-flavored seafood option will appreciate these fillets.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, thawed fillets refrigerated and use within one to two days. If the fillets are still frozen, store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent freezer burn.
