Flounder is a low-calorie, lean fish with a mild flavor that is easy to cook and combines well with a variety of vegetables. This baked flounder fillet recipe is no exception, with thinly sliced potatoes, carrots, and onions layered over the fish fillets then drizzled with thyme-seasoned butter. The result is a savory and satisfying meal that is packed with nutrients and flavor. For added variations that can be used, some like to sprinkle on some paprika for a little spice, or even add some garlic to the melted butter to add some additional flavor.

2.	Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut them into thin slices.
3.	Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the bottom of the greased baking dish.

6.	Place the flounder fillets on top of the vegetables.
7.	Mix the melted butter with thyme and pour it over the fish and vegetables, season with salt and pepper to taste.
8.	Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
9.	Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and the vegetables are tender.
