I'm not sure about flounder specifically, but I have a few fish recipes that are IP compliant that you can adjust to fit what you want!
My simple go-to is to rub the fish with my 2tsp of oil and add whatever spices I want, then wrap it in foil and bake it. This keeps it from drying out. Generally speaking, lemon and herbs go well with white fish, and baking or grilling are the best options for cooking method.
Hope these will give you some ideas!
Cod in a Bag
Ingredients:
- 8 oz Cod Filet
- 1 Lemon, sliced
- Fresh Jalapeno, sliced
- Grapeseed Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Asparagus
- Tin Foil
- Fire!!
Directions:
- Lightly oil the inside of a sheet of tin foil.
- Place 3 lemon slices on the sheet
- Lay the filet of cod on top of the lemon.
- Sprinkle some grapeseed oil on top of the fish, then rub in salt and pepper.
- Place about 6 slices of jalapeno on top of the fish
- Add a few more slices of lemon on top of the jalapeno, then squeeze the remaining lemon over the filet.
- Add asparagus to the side
- Wrap up the tin foil around the fish and asparagus, then place on the grill or fire. Don't place directly over the flame.
Your fish should be cooked in about 5-8 minutes depending on the heat of your fire. It's easy to overcook white fish, so keep an eye on it.

I made this recipe last night - seared tuna steaks with an indian-type spice rub! I served with roasted rutabaga and roasted cauliflower that had been seasoned with ginger and garlic powder!
Spice Rubbed Seared Tuna (I baked this instead of searing to cut down on oil)
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pound tuna steaks
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon coarse black pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 lemon wedges, optional garnish
In a small bowl, combine the salt, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Lay the tuna steaks out on a plate, and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on all sides.
Evenly coat the tuna steaks with the freshly ground black pepper, and gently press it in, so that it adheres to the surface, being careful not to smash the flesh.
Place a thick-bottomed frying pan, or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. When you see small wisps of smoke, add the tuna to the pan and sear the steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove to a cutting board. For presentation, cut each steak diagonally into 4-5 slices and fan on a plate. Garnish with additional lemon if desired.
