Notes
- Flounder fillets can be tough in texture and dry if overcooked. If you buy thin fillets, check for doneness after 10 to 15 minutes.
- Thicker cuts of fish may take longer than 25 minutes to cook through. Check the fillets starting at 20 minutes, even if they are thick, to prevent overcooking.
