How to Make Broiled Flounder
- Preheat your broiler on high.
- Score the flounder's dark side in 2-3 places with a sharp knife.
- In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and the juice of ½ a lemon. Mince 1 clove of garlic and add to the mixture.
- Season both sides of the flounder generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper (adjust amount according to fish size).
- Place the flounder under the preheated broiler for 3 minutes.
- Remove the flounder from the broiler. Brush generously with the butter-garlic sauce. Return to the broiler for 1 minute. Repeat this process, brushing with sauce every minute, until the fish is cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes total).
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the thickest part of the fish. If the toothpick feels warm to the touch, the fish is cooked.
- Drizzle the juice of the remaining ½ lemon over the cooked flounder.
- Serve the whole flounder on a platter and let everyone enjoy!
