Pan Seared Flounder with Fried Rosemary and Garlic

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
In an effort to eat more fish, I have been in search of recipes that call for fish other than salmon, my main seafood staple. I’ve made flounder once before and loved how quick it cooked up and how delicious it tasted.
Pan Seared Flounder with Fried Rosemary and Garlic
So when I found this recipe for Pan Seared Flounder with Fried Rosemary and Garlic in Cooking Light’s Fresh Food Fast cookbook, I knew I had to try it.
Pan Seared Flounder with Fried Rosemary and Garlic
I’ve had the Cooking Light Fresh Foods Superfast cookbook for a while now and just finally opened it. I found so many delicious recipes that I can’t wait to try!Pan Seared Flounder with Fried Rosemary and Garlic
Ingredients (get all ingredients here):
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 rosemary sprigs
  • 2 flounder fillets
  • Salt, pepper and paprika, to taste
  • Lemon wedges

Prepare your garlic and rosemary.
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add the garlic and rosemary.
Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until the garlic is lightly browned.
Transfer garlic and rosemary to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Reserve the oil in the pan.
Sprinkle the fish with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add the fish to the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Flounder is a very delicate fish, so take some care when flipping the fish. If it breaks apart, oh well. It will still taste good!
When finished cooking, add the fish to individual plates. Top with even amounts of the garlic and rosemary.

(I preferred to take the rosemary off the sprig. You can keep it on if you like. Serve with lemon wedges.

Flounder had a wonderful buttery flavor that you can really taste in this dish. The crispy rosemary and garlic added amazing flavor and a nice crunch to the delicate fish.

Best part, this meal can be made in under 15 minutes. I tried to make mashed potatoes to go with this, but the recipe just didn’t work out, sigh. But this recipe would work great with mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or roasted vegetables.

    This is fabulous and easy. I add some toasted almonds to the garlic and rosemary…gives a nice flavor and delightful crunch.

    I had a flounder and looked up the recipe, had the ingredient accept for the fresh rosemary but I used dried an, it is every easy and came together well. Used cast iron and stayed together for the most part. I think I added a little oil on the second filet.
    Is good!

    Cooked this last night with a flounder I caught. Very good and I loved the crunchy Rosemary. Time to go back and catch more flounder.

    Delicious! We tried it tonight with garlic butter instead of garlic and served it with perogies and green beans. The kids gobbled it up!

    This was amazing and I don’t eat fish. The rosemary carmilazed, I added toasted Almont slivers per one review, great flavors. Making this again this week, most worthy.
