🐟 Easy Flounder Recipes

1. Crab Stuffed Flounder Recipe

If you’re looking for a seafood dish that will impress your guests at either your next dinner party or something the whole family can enjoy, look no further than crab stuffed flounder.

This dish is easy to make and perfect for a seafood lover. Best of all, it’s relatively affordable, so you can serve up a gourmet-style meal without breaking the bank. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how delicious it is!

2. Spinach Stuffed Flounder

A delicious mix of flaky white fish and creamy spinach filling, baked to perfection. This easy recipe is full of flavor and very versatile.

The combination of three different kinds of cheese with spinach makes the perfect creamy stuffing for these flaky fish fillets. Mild and a little salty, it turns smooth and gooey as it bakes.

3. Garlic Parmesan Baked Flounder Recipe

We can never say no when it comes to garlic and Parmesan cheese. This easy flounder recipe uses a little bit of panko breadcrumbs, but mostly Parmesan, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The flounder bakes up nice and tender with the perfect amount of crunch.

4. Baked Lemon Butter Flounder

The lemon butter sauce is a simple mixture of melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh minced garlic and dried dill.  Not a lot of ingredients but the garlic flavors definitely pack a punch!

5. SPICY GARLIC SOY BAKED FLOUNDER (IN A FOIL POUCH)

It is foolproof, easy, and seriously – just getting rid of the fishy flavor and smell alone is totally worth baking fish most of the time! Plus, its an awesome way to add a ton of flavor without adding a ton of calories or fat to a nice and healthy, lean meat.

This baked flounder is so delicious- and the recipe is very easily modified to accommodate paleo and whole 30 diets!

6. Flounder Piccata Recipe

Lightly pan fried breaded filet of flounder served in a lemon, wine, butter sauce with capers and parsley. One of the best ways enjoy flounder, tilapia or any white fish.

7. Lemon Pepper Fish

This flaky lemon pepper fish is packed with flavor, is simple to prepare, and tastes delicious year-round. Try it using our homemade lemon pepper seasoning or use your own for a zesty citrus kick. Paired with some simple roasted vegetables or a salad, it makes the perfect healthy weeknight meal that's ready in just 20 minutes!

8. AIR FRYER FLOUNDER FISH

This flounder recipe has a great and light coating, and the Cajun spice blend really brings a lot of flavor out of this fish, and it is air-fried to perfection.

Today, I made a Southern Fried Flounder Fish, which is healthy and absolutely delicious. If you love fish filets with a crunchy coating, this is amazing! Better yet, it is so simple to prepare in the air fryer.

Everyone loves a great and easy fish recipe, with lots of flavor and a crispy exterior, this is amazing!

9. Baked Flounder with Pontchartrain Sauce

Cajun recipes have a reputation for being full of flavor, and this is one of the best flounder recipes I have made. It is served over a bed of quinoa and it starts with the baked blackened flounder and ends with a rich white wine sauce.

10. Shrimp Stuffed Flounder

One of my favorite recipes to serve when guests come over is mild white fish stuffed with a flavorful shrimp stuffing, sauteed veggies and the most flavorful seasonings.

11. Garlic Parmesan Flounder

A bold, lemony sauce loaded with flavor from garlic, good olive oil, and spices infuse the fish and vegetables with flavor while keeping the fish moist as it cooks. No dry fish here! And the finishing sprinkle of nutty Parmesan takes it to the next level! 

Both flounder and Dover sole are usually sold in thin filets, so both types of fish cook at similar speeds, meaning you won’t have to adjust the cooking time too much if you use sole instead of flounder. 

12. Sheet Pan Flounder and Vegetables

You could totally use any vegetable in this recipe. We used asparagus because it pairs perfectly with the light flavor of the fish, and we all love it. You could use green beans if that's what your family likes.

13. FLOUNDER MEUNIÈRE

Flounder Meunière is a classic French fresh flounder recipe made with delicate fish, lots of browned butter, fresh lemon and parsley. It's very simple to prepare - don't let the fancy name fool you! This is one of my favorite fish recipes to serve in the summer alongside a fresh green salad.

14. EASY BAKE FLOUNDER FILLETS

Oven Baked Flounder Fillets with fresh lemon juice, lemon pepper, a little garlic powder, dill weed, with a little butter and olive oil. These flounder fillets along with stick rice and steamed asparagus make a great weeknight dinner option. I highly recommend using a piece of parchment paper for baking the flounder fillets.

These are very delicate flounder filets. The parchment helps prevent sticking and makes for an easy transfer to a serving dish.

15. AIR FRYER FLOUNDER WITH CAPERS

Flounder cooked in the air fryer with no breading is quick and easy to prep, and is ready to serve in under 10 minutes. Tender, buttery flounder fillets are delicate yet slightly fatty (they’re rich in lean protein and healthy omega-3 fats), and are wonderful to cook in the air fryer!

16. Blackened Flounder with Pineapple Salsa

The flounder is seasoned generously with a blend of spices and herbs, cooked quickly either in a pan or on the grill, and served with a juicy pineapple salsa, cauliflower rice, and a cooling chili-lime drizzle.

Once you’ve got your seasoning blend ready, gently pat each flounder fillet with paper towels. I like to cut the fillets in half, but that’s completely optional!

17. FISH CEVICHE

This easy, cold Grapefruit Flounder Ceviche is here to save you from your summertime dinner dilemma!  This light and refreshing seafood salad is quick and doesn’t need an oven!

To make ceviche, you soak small pieces of fish in an acid— such as lime, lemon, or grapefruit juice– until the texture of the fish changes.

18. Baked Flounder with Tomatoes and Basil

Fresh flounder baked in a light garlicky white wine sauce blended with cherry tomatoes and basil is the perfect easy dinner recipe — and a sure hit with family and friends! My Baked Flounder with Tomatoes and Basil pairs well with rice, roasted, or sautéed vegetables.

19. FISH CHOWDER USING FLOUNDER

This chowder is rich and creamy and extremely versatile. You can use any type of mild flavor fish that you like, just as long as it’s cooked. Want even better flavor? You can use a bit of fish stock instead of water.

20. Blackened Wild Flounder

Move over run of the mill, boring fish recipe. Just for you, we have created a flavorful fish recipe that comes together in minutes

21. FLOUNDER TACOS

22. Baked Flounder With Salsa Criolla

23. Broiled Flounder with Lemon Cream Sauce

24. Baked Flounder with Pesto

25. SPINACH FLOUNDER ROLL UP

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be bland, boring, or make you dread your dinner.  Moderation along with herbs and spices is the key to making fabulous healthy meals.  That is why Shrimp and Spinach Flounder Roll Up with Baby Bella Spaghetti is a must for any healthy meal plan!
