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.

Excellent recipe. We followed the instructions as written and were very pleased. This recipe enhanced the flavor of the fish without overwhelming it. This is a keeper!

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.
