    I use grated parmesan cheese and minced garlic mixed together...top fish filet, then broil for a few minutes each side on a wire rack in a shallow pan. It doesn't take long at all! A squeeze of lemon or lime juice after taking them out of the oven and you are done! I've used this method with tilapia, but it should work well with flounder also. I am a very big fan of lemon pepper seasoning though and use it often on fish with garlic powder and dried parsley. Always use fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice. It makes a huge difference in my opinion!

    I love flounder. I like to put fresh squeezed lemon juice on mine and some fresh pepper. Also try to bake it in the oven with fresh rosemary. If I"m out of fresh lemons I'll just sprinkle on some lemon pepper seasoning before I put it in the oven.

    I use this recipe quite a bit with all kinds of fish. I also sometimes add chopped stuffed green olives.

    1 lb red snapper fillets (or other firm, white fleshed fish)
    2 tbsp lime juice
    1 green pepper, cut into thin strips
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 (16 oz) can tomatoes, in juice
    2 tbsp canned diced green chilies
    2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
    1 tbsp capers
    3/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp pepper

    Place fish in a non-aluminum dish. Sprinkle with lime juice; let stand 10 minutes.
    Cook green pepper, onion and garlic in the oil in a skillet 6-8 minutes over med heat.
    Stir in tomatoes with juice, chilies, parsley, capers, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
    Add fish and cook covered 5-7 minutes until fish just starts to become flaky. Transfer to a serving dish topped with the sauce.
