Ingredients

  • 4 flounder fillets

  • 2 pinches of salt

  • 1 pinch of black pepper

  • 2 lemon slices

  • 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter

Preparation

  1. Season the Fillets

    Pat the fillets dry with a kitchen towel, then season evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.


  2. Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to sizzle.


  3. Cook the Fillets

    Place the seasoned fillets in the pan, cooking for about 4 minutes on each side (cook slightly longer if the fillets are thick) until golden and fully cooked.


  4. Finish with Lemon

    Squeeze 4–5 drops of lemon juice over each fillet just before serving for a hint of fresh acidity.


Serve warm with rice and vegetables for a balanced, flavorful meal!
