Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 Lemons
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 small flounder fillets or half as many larger ones
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or half as much dried for garnishing the dish before serving - optional

Instructions
 

  • Put the flounder fillets in bowl and add the juice and the peel from  1/2 of a lemon. 
     Put a skillet on at medium low and add the butter, lemon, salt, pepper and the white wine. Optional on the wine.
     When the butter has melted whisk everything together and let it heat up.
  • When the liquids in the skillet have warmed up lay out the fillets in the skillet.
     The flounder fillets will cook real fast so just about 1 - 2 minutes a side depending on the thickness. To check and see if they are done just gently poke one with a table fork and gently twist it and if the flounder wants to flake apart they are ready to serve.
  • This Flounder with Lemon Butter Sauce recipe is very easy and perfect for a busy weeknight.
    I threw together a tossed caprice salad and nuked a couple of "baked potatoes" in the microwave to go along with Flounder.
