Ingredients

FOR THE BAKED FLOUNDER

  • 4 5- ounce flounder fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime sliced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper for serving

FOR THE SALSA CRIOLLA

  • 1 small red bell pepper finely chopped
  • ½ small white onion finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Set the flounder onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and juice from half a lime, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Bake the flounder fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through. They will be nice and flaky.
  • While the flounder is cooking, make the salsa criolla. Add the bell pepper, onion, tomato and garlic to a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar. Pour it into the first bowl and toss to coat everything.
  • Add the crushed red pepper, oregano and salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Give it a good stir and serve it over the baked flounder fillets.
