Simple Lemon Butter Broiled Flounder and Asparagus – Simple Healthy Delicious Fish Recipe in a Pinch
So tonight, I picked up a few frozen flounder filets, some fresh asparagus, and a salad mix and made a little magic in the new kitchen. You can make this in under 10 minutes of prep time and about 15 minutes in the oven at 350 and a minute or two of broiling.
Ingredients:
- Fresh or Frozen Flounder Filets (thawed per package instructions)
- Fresh Asparagus Spears
- One Lemon
- Butter
- Old Bay Seasoning
- Garlic (2 cloves)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Side salad of your choice
- Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
- Splash of Prosecco
- Fresh basil
So this was easy.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
I bought three frozen flounder filets from the store today at the end of the day, and set them on the counter to thaw. About 40 minutes later, I lined a cookie sheet with heavy duty foil and sprayed a bit of non stick foil. I laid fish on the pan and sprinkled it with Old Bay, salt and pepper, Panko bread crumbs, the juice of one half lemon, then put a few pads of butter on each with some finely chopped garlic. I sprinkled it with some fresh chopped basil and tossed some cherry tomatoes on it for color. Put some asparagus spears next to the fish. Then give it a little sprinkle of Prosecco or champagne or white wine.
Place the baking pan in the over at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes and then give it a quick broil for a minute or two for a tiny bit of browning. Remove from oven and plate with a nice salad.
