- For even cooking and a juicier result, the flounder should go into an already preheated oven. So the first thing to do is turn on the oven and set it to 400–425°F (200–220°C) — that temperature cooks the fish quickly without drying it out. Now for the flounder. Fresh is best, of course, but you can use frozen; just thaw it first. When picking your fish, look at the color of the belly and head — there shouldn't be any yellowish or rusty spots. If there are, the fish may be stale or freezer-burned, which will give the finished dish an off taste. Scrape the flounder with a knife to remove any silty film. Make a cut along the fin, open up the belly, and carefully remove the innards, trying not to burst the gallbladder. Rinse the fish thoroughly under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Wash all the herbs to remove dirt and dust, dry them on paper towels, and chop them. Rub the cleaned, gutted flounder well with sea salt and the herbs, working them into the cavity and over the skin. Put the flounder on a baking sheet and drizzle it with olive oil on all sides. Put the sheet into the preheated oven and bake the flounder dark-skin-side up for 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through. Wash the lemon, wipe it with a paper towel, and cut it into rounds. Then set a small skillet over medium heat, heat it, and dry-fry the lemon rounds without any oil until they begin to char. Plate the finished flounder and lay the charred lemon slices right on top. Serve with a sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
