how long to bake thin flounder fillets

The baking time for thin flounder fillets will depend on the oven temperature, the thickness of the fillets, and the level of doneness desired. Here are some general guidelines:

* Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
* Season the flounder fillets with your desired herbs and spices.
* Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
* Drizzle with a small amount of oil or butter.

Baking times for thin flounder fillets:

* 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick: 6-8 minutes
* 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick: 8-10 minutes
* 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick: 10-12 minutes

It’s essential to check the flounder for doneness by inserting a fork or the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily and is opaque, it’s cooked through.

You can also use the following internal temperature guidelines:

* 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare
* 150°F (66°C) for medium
* 155°F (68°C) for medium-well
* 160°F (71°C) for well-done

Keep in mind that overcooking can make the flounder dry and tough, so it’s better to err on the side of undercooking slightly.
