Panko Parsley Flounder

Panko Parsley Flounder is very mild with a sugar & spice seasoning topped with a butter, Dijon, parsley, panko mixture to make this dish craveable.

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.
