Baked Flounder Filet Oreganata – Lightened!

Sharing is caring!

Baked Flounder Filet Oreganata – Lightened!  Flounder filet is a white fish, that has a soft, flaky moist texture that melts in your mouth with every bite when it’s baked in a bath of wine and lemon juices.  Flounder Filet Oreganata is our mom’s recipe which we lightened up to reduce some of the fat and calories.

 

Growing up, seafood was always on the menu for Friday dinners during the year. 

As a small child, I remember standing by the front door while Mom would go out and pick fresh fish from the back of a red pick-up truck which was filled with crushed ice.

 

 

 

It was always on a Friday the fishmonger would drive by the neighborhood to sell seafood to everyone on the block from the back of his truck that was filled with ice and an assortment of fresh seafood. 

Nowadays, seafood sales are more regulated so we drive to a local seafood market to buy our seafood.

Something’s has changed, but one thing sure hasn’t –  that we love seafood and it’s usually served on Fridays during the year in our home.

Baked Flounder Filet Oreganata is so light, tasty and so delicious, you will be amazed how moist this fish turns out.  We love this recipe for flounder filet and we hope you will too!

Have a great day everyone! 🙂
