- ¼ cup Italian style seasoned bread crumbs
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped

Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. This ensures your fish cooks evenly and gets that perfect golden crust.
- Season the Filets: Lightly season both sides of the flounder filets with salt and pepper. This step is crucial for building flavor from the ground up.

- Dredge the Filets: Coat each filet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to both sides.
- Ready for the Oven: Brush a baking sheet with a teaspoon of olive oil, lay the filets out, and drizzle them with the remaining tablespoon of olive the oil. Finally, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the filets for that zesty kick.
- Bake: Pop the sheet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and fully cooked.
