Red Lobster Fried Flounder Recipe
Red Lobster's Fried Flounder is packed with authentic flavors that make it a favorite in my family (yes, even the kiddos!).Use fresh flounder fillets for the best results, paired with a well-seasoned cornmeal breading for that desired crunch.I always suggest letting the fillets rest in buttermilk before frying—it adds more flavor and ensures they’re incredibly juicy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Flounder Fillets
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/8 inch Oil for frying
Instructions
- Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl.
- Add the flounder fillets, ensuring each piece is fully submerged.
- Refrigerate for about one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- In another shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Make sure the mixture is well combined for an even coating.
- Remove the flounder from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the fillets in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- The oil should be about 1/8 inch deep and shimmering when ready.
- Place the coated flounder in the skillet.
- Brown on one side for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn carefully and cook an additional 3 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
