ingredients

2 pounds flounder or sole fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/4 teaspoon salt
garlic powder and black pepper, to taste
seasoned bread crumbs or panko crumbs

directions

Marinate fillets in lemon juice and lime juice for 30 minutes. Coat a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 14 in. x 14 in.) with nonstick cooking spray (or use foil pan). Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and place on foil. Crimp foil, forming edges. Place foil flat on the grill (do not seal). Grill, close cover, over medium-hot heat for 4 minutes.

Combine Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, shallots and salt; brush/spoon over fillets. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Grill 3-4 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

recipe tips


Preheat the grill before adding the fish to make sure it cooks evenly.

To prevent sticking, make sure the foil is well-coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Add garlic or herbs like dill or parsley to the Parmesan mixture for more flavor.

If you prefer a lighter version, reduce the amount of butter and cheese.

Try adding a splash of white wine to the fish before adding the Parmesan mixture.

To make sure the fish is cooked perfectly, use a fork to check if it flakes easily.

Serve with lemon wedges.

Always be cautious when opening the foil packet as steam can escape and cause burns.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different type of fish?

Yes, other white fish like tilapia, cod, or haddock can be used as substitutes.

What can I use instead of lemon and lime juice?

Is there a substitute for Parmesan cheese?

Can I make this dish without mayonnaise?

  2. bkatona REVIEW:

    This was the best flounder recipe ever! It has a lot of common ingredients and goes together quickly. The panko bread crumbs and sauce give this white fish a lot of flavor and texture.
