Gulf Coast Golden Flounder
Buttery, lemon-kissed flounder baked until tender, flaky, and golden.
Tender flounder brushed with olive oil, seasoned on both sides with MooMoo & Butter™ Creole Lady, then baked over butter, thyme, and fresh lemon until perfectly flaky and golden. Rich pan juices and bright citrus create a simple Gulf Coast dish packed with Southern flavor.
Preparation
- 01
Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 02
Pat the flounder dry and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Season BOTH SIDES evenly with MooMoo & Butter™ Creole Lady, gently pressing the seasoning into the fish.
- 03
Add butter and fresh thyme sprigs to a baking dish and place in the preheating oven just until the butter melts, then remove the dish.
- 04
Place seasoned flounder fillets on top of the melted butter and thyme.
- 05
Drizzle fresh lemon juice and a little additional olive oil over the fillets.
- 06
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 07
Spoon the rich pan juices over the fish before serving. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
MooMoo & Butter™ Tip
Creole Lady brings bold, herb-forward flavor to delicate flounder — pressing the seasoning into both sides creates a beautifully seasoned crust as it bakes. Spoon the pan juices over rice or grits for a complete Southern plate.
