Great Grilled Flounder Recipes

GREAT GRILLED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Arrange fish on a well-oiled grill. Combine remaining ingredients and baste fish. Grill, turning and basting occasionally, for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish is flaky and no longer translucent in the center.

GRILLED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Make the brine: Put salt and sugar in a large bowl or pot, and add around a half-gallon of water, stirring to combine and dissolve the salt and sugar.
• Set the burners on a gas grill to medium. When it is hot, scrape grates to make sure they are very clean. (If using a charcoal grill, build a fire in your grill. When coals are covered with gray ash and you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds, you are ready to cook.)
• While grill heats, slide the flounder fillets into the brine and allow them to sit for approximately 10 minutes, then remove from the brine and pat very dry with paper towel. Season fillets with salt and pepper, then apply just a little oil to one side of each fillet, lightly spreading it with your fingers to cover the flesh.
• Apply some more oil to a paper towel and, using tongs to protect your hands, use the towel to oil the grill grates. They will smoke furiously. Gently lay the fish fillets, oiled-side down, onto the grates. Cook until the fish has started to turn translucent at its edges, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from grill and place, grilled-side up, on a warmed platter. The fish will continue to cook as it rests.
• Top each fillet with a small pat of butter, some chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon, then serve.

GRILLED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Marinate fillets in lemon juice and lime juice for 30 minutes. Coat a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 14 in. x 14 in.) with nonstick cooking spray (or use foil pan). Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and place on foil. Crimp foil, forming edges. Place foil flat on the grill (do not seal). Grill, close cover, over medium-hot heat for 4 minutes. Combine Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, shallots and salt; brush/spoon over fillets. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Grill 3-4 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

QUICK AND EASY GRILLED FLOUNDER FILLETS

Steps:

• Brush each skinned filet on both sides with olive oil.
• Dust BOTH sides with cyanine pepper, smoked paprika and sea salt to taste.
• Place the filets in a fish basket.
• Put the basket on a PRE HEATED, HOT grill.
• Cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish.
• For a 1/2 inch filet, I use 90 seconds per side, then repeat for a total time of 6 minutes and the edges just turning golden.
• Don't wait till the flesh flakes or it's over cooked and will probably be dry.
• Enjoy with your favorite sides!
