Ingredients for Baked Flounder With Herbed Mayo And Vermouth

  • Flounder Fillets
  • Mayonnaise
  • Thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Marjoram
  • Tarragon
  • Rosemary
  • Pimentos

How to Make Baked Flounder With Herbed Mayo And Vermouth

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly pat dry 2 (6-ounce) flounder fillets. Place them in a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish, allowing fillets to slightly overlap.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Spread the herbed mayonnaise mixture evenly over the flounder fillets.
  5. Pour 2 tablespoons of dry vermouth over the fish and mayonnaise.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. For an extra crispy topping, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until lightly browned.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
