Make it – Simple Supper – Lemon Flounder

Make It

Now that the weather is finally getting consistently nicer, I’m all for Simple Suppers. That way I still have time to go on a walk with my Mister — or perhaps take a long driver to get my favorite frozen yogurt ;)

Tonight I’ll be making one of my favorites: fresh flounder fillets. Baked with lemon and a little white wine or vermouth makes this dish a wonderful, low fat supper option. I’ll be serving mine with roasted broccoli, but grilled asparagus or green beans are also nice options.

Serves 2 — to serve more, just double or adjust the recipe accordingly!

You’ll need:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine lemon juice, white wine, lemon pepper and garlic in a small bowl.

Place flounder in one layer in a shallow glass baking dish. Spread lemon mixture evenly over the fish and bake for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Each serving is about 150 calories, only 2 grams of fat and a whopping 32 grams of protein! 

Also — it takes roughly 15 minutes from start to finish. I told ya it was simple ;)

I’ll post pictures later tonight!

p.s. do you call your evening meal dinner or supper? I normally call it “dinner,” but I was using “supper” for alliteration (fancy!) ;)

    In my family, dinner is at noon…like “Sunday dinner” but supper is in the evening. Maybe it’s a Southern thing?!

    Flouder recipe looks good!

    Mmmm, I love fish with lemon. Totally a fast and easy dish.

    I am a dinner sort of gal but every once in a while I’ll use the term supper to throw off my husband. hehe

    I wish I was eloquent enough to have an opinion on supper v. dinner. I think supper is just such a southern word

    What, no picture? :D Sounds delicious though! :D (And I like the word supper! It makes me feel very… old-fashioned when I say it.)
