Ingredients:
- 2 pounds flounder or sole fillets
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons chopped shallots
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- garlic powder and black pepper, to taste
- seasoned bread crumbs or panko crumbs
Instruction:
Marinate fillets in lemon juice and lime juice for 30 minutes. Coat a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 14 in. x 14 in.) with nonstick cooking spray (or use foil pan). Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and place on foil. Crimp foil, forming edges. Place foil flat on the grill (do not seal). Grill, close cover, over medium-hot heat for 4 minutes.
Combine Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, shallots and salt; brush/spoon over fillets. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Grill 3-4 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
FAQ
Do you flip flounder on the grill?
Use a perforated grilling sheet or aluminum foil, avoid flipping the fish while grilling it because it can fall apart, and grill the fish skin-on to help keep the meat from falling apart. Tip. Flounder falls apart easily when grilled, so it’s important to take care.
How is flounder supposed to be cooked?
Maintaining heat at medium-high, cook fish for 3 minutes (or longer, depending on size of fillets) on one side, turning once, until deep brown and crispy.
How do you grill flounder on a flat top grill?
The best fish to grill are salmon and hearty, firm white fish like sea bass, red snapper, grouper, and halibut. If you would like to grill thin, delicate fish, it is best to wrap them in foil instead of using this method.
