Flounder on the grill

2 servings

60 minutes

Grilled flounder is the embodiment of simplicity and elegance in European cuisine. The fish, tender and aromatic, gains an appetizing golden crust thanks to the grill, while crosshatch cuts allow butter and spices to penetrate inside, revealing the depth of flavor. A garnish of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil adds freshness and lightness to the dish, while olive oil unites the flavors. Flounder pairs wonderfully with white wine and grilled vegetables, creating a perfect harmony for a summer dinner. This dish highlights the naturalness of ingredients and requires no complex techniques – just a bit of attention and love for quality food.
