Greek flounder

40 minutes
Greek flounder is a refined dish that reflects the Mediterranean tradition of combining fresh seafood with aromatic ingredients. It originates from Greek cuisine, where love for simplicity and natural flavors reigns supreme. Baked flounder fillet infused with lemon juice and garlic aroma acquires a tender texture and a slight tanginess. The onion-tomato layer adds sweetness to the dish, while butter makes it even juicier. The dish pairs wonderfully with a side of boiled rice and vegetables, adding freshness and balance of flavors. Greek flounder is the perfect choice for those who appreciate light yet rich seafood dishes filled with the spirit of the Mediterranean.
