Expert Tips That I Recommend

Cook the fillets in batches, as it lowers the temperature and prevents even browning.
To prevent the flounder from breaking, use a wide spatula to flip it.
Once the flounder turns brown and flakes easily,y just remove it from the heat.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets

Keto Version: Swap cornmeal for almond flour, since cornmeal has a significant amount of carbohydrates that aren’t keto-friendly.

Storing

First, let the flounder cool down completely, and store it in an airtight container. Be sure to add parchment paper in between to keep the coating from getting moist. It will remain fresh for 3-4 days.

Reheating

Oven: Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Now add the flounder to an oven-safe dish. Cover with foil and heat for 8- 10 minutes.
Air fryer: Preheat at 180°C for 4–6 minutes. Then add the flounder, flipping it only once. This is the best way to restore crispiness.

FAQs About Red Lobster Flounder

How do I make sure coating sticks to fish?

After coating the fish, gently press the coating onto both sides of the fillet. Avoid handling the fish excessively once coated, as it can affect the coating.

How long should I cook the flounder?

Cook the coated fillets for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. The fish is considered cooked when it flakes easily with a fork, and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.

Why is my cornmeal coating not getting crispy?

The most common reason the coating isn’t crispy is that the skillet isn’t hot enough or the pan is too crowded. Always make sure fillets are well dried, and the skillet is preheated.
