Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of ¼ pound of flounder. Actual calories will vary.
- If you cook the fish straight out of the freezer, you'll end up with super watery fish due to the added solution. It can get watery from not thawing it out completely, too.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Reheat on a low temperature setting in the oven to warm through.
