Ingredients:

  • 4 Flounder Fillets (approx. 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approx. 375°F / 190°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the flounder fillets extremely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
  3. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil. Season evenly with the mixture of salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and oregano. Reserve half for the final drizzle.
  5. Place fillets into a well-oiled fish grill basket (or on perforated oiled aluminum foil).
  6. Place the basket on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip the basket and brush the fish with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Rest the fish for 2 minutes, then drizzle with the remaining fresh herb butter before serving.
