Ingredients:

  • 4 flounder fillets, approx 6 oz (170g) each
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Pat the flounder fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure searing rather than steaming. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon zest.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Using a pastry brush, coat the grill grates generously with avocado oil.
  4. Lay the fillets on the grates, close the lid, and sear for 3–4 minutes without moving them until the edges turn opaque and the fish releases naturally from the grate.
  5. Carefully flip the fillets using a fish spatula. Immediately brush the top side with the prepared lemon-garlic butter.
  6. Grill for another 3 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove from heat and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
