Boom! Done! Are you ready for some delicious flounder? You’re going to fall in love with this dish. Delicious! Not this flounder recipe! Flounder is a mild white fish that has a touch of sweetness, though overall it’s quite delicate in flavor. By itself it probably won’t satisfy your cravings, but with a few simple seasonings and this amazing salsa criolla recipe, you’ll find yourself stopping at the store for flounder more often. Baked flounder is the best!

Flounder fillets Olive oil Lime Paprika Granulated garlic Salt and pepper Crushed red pepper

For the salsa criolla:

Red bell pepper White onion Tomato Garlic Olive oil Red wine vinegar Crushed red pepper Fresh oregano Salt and pepper

Season the flounder. Set the flounder onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and juice from half a lime, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake. Bake the flounder fillets for 8-10 minutes or until they’re fully cooked through. They will be nice and flaky! Make the salsa. Add the bell pepper, onion, tomato and garlic to a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar. Pour it into the first bowl and toss to coat everything. Add the crushed red pepper, oregano and salt and pepper to your preference. Serve and enjoy! Give it a good stir and serve it over the baked flounder fillets. If you try this recipe, please let us know!

As it goes with all seafood, I don’t recommend reheating it in the microwave! Microwaving seafood zaps the consistency and flavor right out of it. This flounder is best when reheated on your stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through. I do not recommend freezing the baked flounder or fresh salsa.
