• 2 tablespoons grated lemon rind (about 3 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 ¼ teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 (6-ounce) flounder fillets
• Cooking spray
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

2. Combine grated lemon, olive oil, peppercorns, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Place fillets on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Rub garlic mixture evenly over fillets. Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
