Panko Parsley Flounder is well seasoned, crunchy, and does not need tarter sauce or mayo. I like to squeeze a little lemon over the top of the panko for a fresh finish. Flat leaf parsley is the only type of parsley I would use in this dish. Don’t use curly or the parsley flavor will be too strong.
I have also tired this dish with cilantro and do not recommend that either. The flavors do not blend together well.
Cost Per Serving $11.90 as of April 2023
Fish is more expensive than other meats so the cost per serving is a lot higher. It is not really a budget friendly protein.
If you have ZERO ingredients then this recipe will cost about $23.80.
If you have a stocked pantry this dish will cost you about $11.76.
- Cost per serving reduces to $5.88.
I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
