Baked flounder

Cookinero 4 May 2025

For this recipe, we chose flounder meat: it is amazingly tasty, tender and juicy, but it has one nuance - a specific smell. To get rid of it, it is enough to thoroughly clean the fish, remove the entrails and rinse well. Flounder is boiled, fried, stewed, stuffed, but we settled on baking, which preserves all its juices and nutrients.
