Flounder is a type of flatfish that is commonly found in North America. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a delicate texture that makes it a popular choice for seafood dishes. Grilled Orange Flounder is a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy this versatile fish. Marinating the fish with orange slices and herbs infuses it with a delicious citrusy flavor that pairs well with the natural taste of the flounder. Grilling is a healthier cooking method that helps to retain the nutrients in the fish while giving it a crispy exterior.

Instructions

1.	Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2.	Score the flounder on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through.
3.	Insert the sliced oranges inside the flounder.
4.	Combine parsley, black pepper, basil, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl.
5.	Rub the mixture over the entire fish.
6.	Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through.
