Ingredients
- 4 fillets Flounder 4 to 6 oz each, skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley chopped
- 4 wedges Lemon
Instructions
- Pat the flounder fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the flounder fillets.
- Place the seasoned flounder fillets in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Top each fillet with a lemon wedge and sprinkle some fresh parsley on top.
Notes
- Storage: Allow any leftover flounder to cool down before storing it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Freezing: If you have extra fillets, you can freeze them before cooking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They’ll last for about three months.
- Pairing: Consider serving your Air Fryer Flounder with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or some garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Adjusting Seasoning: Feel free to tweak the seasoning according to your preference. Adding a dash of cayenne pepper can give it a nice heat if you enjoy spicy flavors.
- Cooking Time Variations: If your fillets are particularly thick, increase the cooking time slightly, checking for doneness.
