Ina Garten Flounder
Ina Garten’s flounder is typically prepared by baking fillets in a lemon-butter sauce and topping them with breadcrumbs and parsley. The fish cooks quickly, remaining moist and flaky while the topping adds texture and flavor.

Ingredients
-
4 fresh flounder fillets (about 1½ pounds)
-
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
¾ cup plain dry breadcrumbs (or panko for crunch)
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
Optional: Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer.
Place the flounder fillets in the prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and white wine. Pour evenly over the fillets.
In another bowl, combine the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined, then spoon the mixture evenly over each fillet.
Bake the flounder uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and crisp.
Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice and optional lemon wedges on the side.
