BROILED FLOUNDER WITH BUTTER AND LEMON
Steps:
- Pre-heat broiler. In a glass baking dish add the lemon juice, chili flake, butter and olive oil. Place in oven for about one minute, just long enough to melt the butter and remove.
- Season fish lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish in the melted butter-lemon mixture and place under broiler for 6 to 8 minutes. To serve place on a serving plate and spoon the sauce from the dish on top.
- Note: Broilers that are under the oven can be too hot for this dish. Ideally you want the dish to broil at least ten to twelve inches below the fire. If your broiler is too close to the fish then use the same method except bake the fish in a 500 degree oven for a very similar effect.

Steps:
- Heat brolier on high.
- Score the fish in two or three spots on the dark side.
- Melt butter and worcestershire sauce with juce from half a lemon and garlic.
- Rub fish down with salt and pepper on both sides, depending on the size of your fish you might need more or less salt and pepper.
- Put fish under the broiler for 3 minuets.
- Slide the fish out of the broiler and paint it with butter and garlic sauce every minuet or so untill the fish is done. I follow this rule: if you can stick a toothpick into the widest part of the fish, then place the toothpick to your lips and the toothpick is warm, your fish is done.
- When fish is done drizzle with the juice from the other half of your lemon.
- I like putting the whole fish on the table and let everybody digin.

BROILED FLOUNDER (SO EASY!)
This is one of the easiest ways to prepare fish. We ate lots of flounder growning up. I say that tongue-in-cheek. We actually did eat lots of fish, but for some reason when she was really little my baby sister declared the only fish she liked was flounder. So whenever we had fish, no matter what kind it was, if somewhat asked what kind of fish it was we always answered, "Flounder (wink,wink)."
